Gammel by 1751 - 1828

"Gammel by" is an etching by Johan Bülow, a Danish artist known for his landscape and architectural works. The artwork features a detailed depiction of a fortified building with a round tower, seemingly in a state of partial ruin. In the foreground, two figures in a small boat are fishing in the waters below, adding a sense of tranquility and scale to the composition. The use of hatching and stippling techniques in the etching creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the details of the stonework and the natural environment. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
