Rejsedagbog 1845

"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary), a handwritten journal by Danish painter Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818–1848), offers a glimpse into the artist's travels and personal reflections. The small-format diary, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an intimate record of Lundbye's experiences, likely penned during his travels through Europe, including Italy, in 1845. Its delicate script, featuring detailed observations and personal musings, speaks to the artist's keen eye and reflective nature. The diary's compact size and the intimate nature of its contents make it a unique window into Lundbye's artistic journey and his artistic development.
