"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary), a small, handwritten notebook, is an intimate glimpse into the life of Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, who tragically died at the young age of 30. The diary, created in 1845, likely records his travels across Denmark and offers insights into his artistic journey and the landscapes that inspired him. This artifact, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a unique window into the personal and creative world of one of Denmark's most renowned landscape painters.
