Vignet til Frederik V's Søkrigsartikelsbrev 1754 - 1758

"Vignet til Frederik V's Søkrigsartikelsbrev" is an etching by Odvardt Helmoldt de Lode, a Danish artist who died young at the age of 33. The print, completed between 1754 and 1758, depicts a scene of naval warfare with cannons being loaded and fired, suggesting the power and strength of the Danish Navy. The composition is dynamic, with figures and objects arranged in a lively and engaging manner. This small-scale work is a testament to de Lode's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a dramatic scene. It can now be found at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, in Denmark.
