Jutulen og Johannes Blessen 1879

"Jutulen og Johannes Blessen" is a lithograph created by Danish artist H.P. Hansen in 1879. The artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a scene from Danish folklore with a mythical creature known as a "Jutule" pulling a sleigh with a man named Johannes Blessen. The detailed black-and-white depiction portrays the fantastical journey through the air, capturing the essence of Danish folklore and the imagination of the artist. This work is a fascinating example of the romanticized depiction of myths and legends in 19th-century Danish art.
