"Kirke i måneskin" (Church in Moonlight), a 17th-century etching by Jan Ruyscher, captures a serene nighttime scene. The artwork depicts a church nestled amidst trees, illuminated by the soft glow of the moon. The sky is filled with wispy clouds, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Ruyscher's masterful use of lines and shading evokes a sense of atmospheric perspective, drawing the viewer into the tranquil landscape. The etching is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with natural beauty and the sublime. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
