Rolf wordt dodelijk verwond door Hiartwar 1781

"Rolf wordt dodelijk verwond door Hiartwar" is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki created in 1781. This print depicts a scene of a violent struggle between Rolf and Hiartwar, set amidst a dense forest. The dramatic composition, characterized by strong diagonals and contrasting light and dark areas, emphasizes the intensity of the fight. This detailed and expressive work is a fine example of Chodowiecki's mastery of etching and his ability to capture the drama and emotion of a historical narrative. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
