Italiensk fantasilandskab 1763

"Italiensk fantasilandskab" (Italian fantasy landscape) is a 1763 drawing by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund. This red chalk drawing depicts a mountainous Italian landscape. The light, hazy sky adds to the fantastical nature of the scene, while the winding road and dramatic cliffs lead the viewer's eye through the composition. The work is currently held in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. This drawing exemplifies Lund's fascination with Italian landscapes, a popular subject for artists of the time.
