Rejsedagbog 1845

"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small, leather-bound book by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, created in 1845. This intimate object, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, contains Lundbye's personal writings and sketches, offering a glimpse into his artistic journey. The pages, filled with his elegant penmanship, document his travels, observations, and artistic inspirations. The book, measuring only 161 mm high, 103 mm wide, and 11 mm deep, serves as a testament to the artist's commitment to recording his experiences and capturing the world around him. This artifact provides valuable insight into Lundbye's creative process and the artistic life of 19th-century Denmark.
