En gammel neopolitansk fisker ser efter vejret 1833 - 1867

"En gammel neopolitansk fisker ser efter vejret" is a lithograph by Danish artist Emil Ditlev Bærentzen, created between 1833 and 1867. The artwork portrays a weathered fisherman standing in a doorway, gazing out at the tumultuous sea. The scene is rendered in shades of gray, emphasizing the somber mood and the harshness of the fisherman's life. The composition is balanced by the contrast between the dark interior and the bright, stormy sky beyond, and the fisherman's solitary figure evokes a sense of quiet contemplation. The lithograph, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, highlights Bærentzen's talent for capturing the realism of daily life and the rugged beauty of the natural world.
