Kongekilde mølle 1869

"Kongekilde mølle" is an etching by Danish artist Carl Thomsen, created in 1869. The artwork, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a windmill in silhouette against a cloudy sky, with a single tree in the foreground. The simple composition and stark contrasts highlight the architectural form of the windmill, showcasing Thomsen's skill in capturing the essence of a subject in a minimalist manner. This etching exemplifies the Romantic movement's focus on nature and its influence on the Danish art scene in the 19th century.
