Vedby kors 1843

H.C. Henneberg’s 1843 wood engraving “Vedby kors” is a striking image depicting a wooden cross resting in a field. The artist uses detailed hatching to illustrate the texture of the wood and the surrounding grass. The cross is partially obscured by branches and a fence, creating a sense of mystery and solitude. A prominent hill and a distant sky are depicted in the background, providing a backdrop for the central symbol. The overall atmosphere is somber, emphasizing the solemnity of the subject.
