Italiensk fantasilandskab 1763

"Italiensk fantasilandskab" (Italian fantasy landscape) is a red chalk drawing from 1763 by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund. The artwork depicts a mountainous landscape with a winding path leading towards a village nestled in the valley. The soft, hazy atmosphere and the detailed rendering of the rocks and trees create a sense of depth and tranquility. Lund's drawing is a fine example of 18th-century landscape art, characterized by its idealized depictions of nature and its emphasis on picturesque compositions. The artwork is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
