Bro over fæstningsgrav 1933

"Bro over fæstningsgrav" (Bridge over fortress moat) is an etching created in 1933 by Danish artist Henry Nielsen (1907-1937). This small, expressive print, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a bridge over a moat, possibly a defensive feature of a historic fortress. The artist's distinctive style, characterized by loose, gestural lines and a focus on atmospheric effects, creates a sense of depth and movement in this evocative depiction of a Danish landscape. This work is a testament to Nielsen's talent for capturing the essence of his surroundings with a unique and captivating visual language.
