Ildebrand i klostret 1888

"Ildebrand i klostret" is a 1888 etching by Danish artist Frans Schwartz, depicting a figure in a dark, possibly religious setting, kneeling by a wall with their head bowed. The image features a striking contrast between the figure’s dark form and the bright, almost ethereal flames that fill the right side of the composition. This work, located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Schwartz's mastery of tonal contrasts and his exploration of psychological themes in a dramatic and expressive manner.
