Hornbæk kirke, sommeraften 1887

"Hornbæk kirke, sommeraften" (1887) is an etching by Danish artist Carl Locher (1851-1915). The artwork portrays a tranquil summer evening scene in Hornbæk, Denmark. The composition features a silhouette of the church with a tall spire against a pale sky with a full moon. The artist's use of dark and light contrasts creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the moon and the church the focal points of the scene. The etching, now held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Locher's masterful handling of light and shadow in depicting the beauty of everyday life.
