Bladslyngning 1778

"Bladslyngning" (1778) is an etching by J.F. Clemens, a Danish artist known for his decorative and architectural designs. This intricate design features a central motif of a stylized human head with flowing hair, surrounded by symmetrical, swirling foliage and intricate ropework. Clemens’s work demonstrates the Rococo style's emphasis on asymmetry, natural forms, and playful ornamentation. This print, now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an example of Clemens's ability to create delicate and dynamic designs.
