Verdenskort med digte 1806 - 1810

This detailed map of the world, titled "Verdenskort med digte," was created by Danish artist Oluf Olufsen Bagge between 1806 and 1810. The artwork depicts a spherical world map surrounded by constellations, with text in Danish discussing celestial phenomena. Bagge utilizes artistic license in portraying the Earth, with a simplified representation of the continents. The map itself is a visual reminder of the era's fascination with geography and the vastness of the world. This work, part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, serves as a unique example of artistic expression within the scientific field of cartography.
