Emblem med Fugl Fønix 1645 - 1659

Christian Rothgiesser’s "Emblem med Fugl Fønix" (Emblem with Phoenix) is a 17th-century etching depicting a phoenix rising from flames in a landscape. The design incorporates ornate, scrolling foliage and a lion’s head in a baroque style. The artwork’s small scale (100 mm x 133 mm) makes it ideal for close examination of the intricate details, further emphasizing its ornamental quality. Created between 1645-1659, this emblem is a fine example of Rothgiesser's work and is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
