"Paradismuren" (Paradise Walls) is a watercolor painting by Joakim Skovgaard created in 1891. It depicts a scene with a large, winding wall that snakes up a hill, culminating in a tower topped with figures. The painting is characterized by its soft, atmospheric colors, which create a sense of mystery and wonder. Skovgaard was known for his religious art, and "Paradismuren" likely reflects his fascination with the symbolic and spiritual. The artwork is currently part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
