Hertug Ferdinands Mindestøtte 1782

"Hertug Ferdinands Mindestøtte" (Memorial to Duke Ferdinand) is an 1782 engraving by Danish artist Frederik Ludvig Bradt, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The work depicts a monumental column in a natural setting, the text on its surface likely an inscription commemorating the Duke. The intricate detail of the column's structure, with its layered base, inscriptions, and elaborate finial, reflects the precision and grandeur of neoclassical architecture. Bradt's detailed depiction showcases his skill as an engraver, and the print likely served as a design for a real monument.
