"Uidentificeret moské med 1 minaret, t.v. højt træ" is an engraving by Melchior Lorck, a Danish artist active in the 16th century. The artwork depicts a mosque with a single minaret, set against a backdrop of a mountainous landscape and a distant cityscape. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques used by Lorck create a sense of depth and texture. The engraving captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into Ottoman architecture and urban life during the Renaissance. This small-scale artwork, part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, reflects the growing European fascination with the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.
