Parti ved Hammershus 1869 - 1873

"Parti ved Hammershus" is an etching created by Danish artist Axel Theodor Kittendorff between 1869 and 1873. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a picturesque view of the Hammershus ruins, a medieval fortress on the island of Bornholm. The detailed etching captures the imposing silhouette of the castle against a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant sea. Kittendorff’s masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, immersing the viewer in the rugged beauty of the landscape.
