Stenet Strandbred 1889

"Stenet Strandbred" (Rocky Seashore) is an etching by Danish artist Carl Bloch, completed in 1889. The print depicts a rocky coastline with a calm sea in the background. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark areas, creates a sense of depth and realism. The artist's detailed rendering of the rocks and the water adds to the scene's naturalism. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This piece is a great example of Bloch's skill in capturing the beauty of the Danish landscape.
