Natten 1820 - 1887

"Natten" is a print by Danish artist Johan Frederik Rosenstand, depicting a winged angel holding a child. Created sometime between 1820 and 1887, this work is a detailed engraving of a relief sculpture likely created in 1815. The image showcases Rosenstand's skill in capturing the delicate and expressive nature of the angelic figures. This print, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers insight into the artistic trends of the 19th century and is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery.
