Niels Ebbesen 1779 - 1781

This 1779-1781 engraving by J.F. Clemens depicts the monument to Niels Ebbesen, a Danish nobleman who famously fought against the German King, Albrecht of Mecklenburg. The piece is a detailed rendering of the monument, showing its classical architecture, including a plinth and a bell, with the inscription "Niels Ebbesen af Norre Rys" clearly visible. The engraving is a testament to Clemens's meticulous technique and showcases his talent for architectural illustration. The work is currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
