Illustration med bortførelse ved nat 1795

"Illustration med bortførelse ved nat" is a 1795 etching by Danish artist Georg Christian Schule (1764-1816). The artwork depicts a dramatic scene of abduction under a moonlit sky, with a man forcefully taking a woman away. The detailed rendering of the figures, the atmospheric nighttime setting, and the use of light and shadow contribute to the captivating narrative of the piece. This etching exemplifies Schule's mastery of the printmaking medium and his ability to convey emotional intensity in a small format. The work is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
