Allegori over skibsfarten 1760

"Allegori over skibsfarten" (Allegory of Shipping) is an etching by Danish artist Jean Frederic Herman from 1760. This complex allegorical piece shows a group of figures centered around a globe with the inscription "AFRICA," symbolizing the world, with multiple winged figures representing celestial bodies and the power of sea travel. The piece is in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark. The etching likely reflects the Danish interest in global trade and maritime exploration during the 18th century.
