Det himmelske Jerusalem 1933 - 1934

"Det himmelske Jerusalem" (The Heavenly Jerusalem), a 1933-1934 ink drawing by Danish artist Niels Larsen Stevns, depicts a stylized, geometric view of a celestial city. The sketch, part of Stevns's notebook, features a gridded structure, suggesting a planned and ordered urban environment, while the intricate lines and details evoke a sense of both grandeur and mystery. This work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artist's vision of a spiritual and utopian ideal.
