Solnedgang i en skov 1885

"Solnedgang i en skov" (Sunset in a Forest), created in 1885 by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, captures a serene and melancholic moment at dusk. The black and white etching depicts a dense woodland scene with a bridge crossing a stream. The silhouetted trees and the single bare tree in the foreground add to the somber atmosphere, while the flock of birds in flight suggests a sense of movement and transition. This artwork reflects Kyhn's mastery of etching, showcasing his ability to create rich textures and subtle gradations of light and shadow, typical of the 19th-century realism movement.
