The journal, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artist's travels and artistic observations. While not a painting itself, the journal provides invaluable insight into Lundbye's artistic process, his thoughts on other artists, and his personal reflections during his short but impactful career.
