Die Hirschjagd 1800

"Die Hirschjagd" (The Deer Hunt), painted in 1800 by Danish artist Elias Meyer (1763-1809), depicts a tranquil forest scene. The painting showcases Meyer's mastery of landscape painting, with its detailed rendering of trees and foliage. The figures in the foreground, likely hunters, add a sense of narrative to the composition, while the serene water reflects the cloudy sky, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The painting is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
