Bjerglandskab 1789

"Bjerglandskab" (Mountain Landscape) is a 1789 etching by Danish artist Christopher Friederich Köppen. Depicting a mountainous scene with a small farmhouse in the foreground, the work showcases Köppen's skill in rendering detail and capturing the essence of the natural world. The print, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Köppen's contribution to the development of landscape art in Denmark. The etching's small size, 122 mm by 168 mm, suggests its intended audience as collectors or those with an appreciation for intimate, detailed works.
