Niels Klim dukker igen op mellem de norske klipper 1786 - 1788

This engraving, created by Danish artist J.F. Clemens between 1786 and 1788, depicts a scene from the novel *Niels Klim's Underground Travels* by Ludvig Holberg. The protagonist, Niels Klim, is shown on a rocky outcrop, his hand outstretched toward a distant, luminous landscape, perhaps a depiction of the celestial realm. This artwork, held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a prime example of Danish Rococo art, showcasing the era's penchant for intricate detail and romantic themes. The use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, while the small size of the work (132 mm x 99 mm) emphasizes the intimate nature of the story.
