L'Interieur d'une fonderie de fer 1790s

"L'Interieur d'une fonderie de fer" (Interior of an Iron Foundry), created in the 1790s by Georg Haas, depicts a bustling scene inside a foundry. The painting shows workers engaged in the laborious process of iron production, with smoke and flames filling the air. The scene captures the raw power and industrial nature of 18th-century ironworking, highlighting the labor-intensive process and the working conditions of the time. This piece, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the industrial landscape of the period and serves as a testament to the artistic representation of social and economic realities.
