Italiensk fantasilandskab 1763

"Italiensk fantasilandskab" (Italian Fantasy Landscape), created in 1763 by Jens Petersen Lund, is a red chalk drawing that showcases the artist's fascination with Italian landscapes. Lund, a Danish artist, travelled extensively in Italy, and this drawing reflects the influence of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque art on his style. The drawing depicts a picturesque landscape with a towering hill, a winding river, and a group of figures in the foreground. Lund's use of hatching and shading creates a sense of depth and volume, and the light washes of red chalk give the drawing a warm, inviting feel. The drawing is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
