"Ivigtût" is a lithograph created by Danish artist Lars Møller between 1869 and 1871. This print depicts the settlement of Ivigtût in Greenland, known for its cryolite deposits. Møller's work captures the stark beauty of the Arctic landscape, showing a small village nestled between mountains and a ship docked in the harbor. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era of Greenlandic history, capturing the importance of the cryolite industry and the stark landscape that defined the area. The artwork is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
