Rejsedagbog 1845

"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small, leather-bound book created by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye in 1845. The pages of the diary are filled with Lundbye’s elegant handwriting, capturing his personal observations and artistic ideas. The diary is a window into the life and thoughts of a young artist at the height of his creativity. The work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and its small size reflects its intimate and personal nature, a testament to Lundbye's keen eye for detail and his passion for capturing the world around him.
