En vildttyv og hans datter forskrækkes af skovvogterne ved nat 1836

"En vildttyv og hans datter forskrækkes af skovvogterne ved nat" (A Poacher and His Daughter Frightened by the Foresters at Night), painted in 1836 by Danish artist Moritz Unna, depicts a dramatic scene of a poacher and his daughter caught in the act. The painting captures the moment of surprise and fear, with the poacher and his daughter huddled together in a dimly lit interior. Unna's use of chiaroscuro (strong contrasts of light and dark), creates a sense of suspense and drama, characteristic of the Romanticism style. This oil-on-canvas painting is a testament to Unna’s skill in depicting the human condition and the fragility of life. It is now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
