Kirkeruin på Grønland. Illustration til W.A. Graah. Undersøgelsesrejse til østkysten af Grønland 1832

"Kirkeruin på Grønland" is an 1832 illustration by Oluf Olufsen Bagge depicting the ruins of a church in Greenland. The artwork is a detailed depiction of the interior of the church, showcasing the crumbling brick walls, a single remaining window, and a view of the overgrown ground. The perspective of the illustration offers a sense of the historical context and the passage of time on the structure. The work was created as an illustration for W.A. Graah's "Undersøgelsesrejse til østkysten af Grønland" which suggests an interest in the documentation and exploration of Greenland's history and landscape. "Kirkeruin på Grønland" is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The image is a valuable example of 19th-century landscape illustration, and its historical context and artistic detail contribute to its appeal.
