"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small, handwritten notebook by Danish painter Johan Thomas Lundbye. Created in 1845, the diary offers a glimpse into the artist's travels and observations during a short but prolific career. This work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, illustrates the intimate and personal nature of Lundbye's artistic process, reflecting his keen eye for detail and his fascination with the natural world.
