Jomfru Maria med det sovende Jesusbarn i et landskab 1792 - 1832

"Jomfru Maria med det sovende Jesusbarn i et landskab" (The Virgin Mary with the Sleeping Infant Jesus in a Landscape) is an oil on canvas painting created between 1792 and 1832 by Danish artist Carl Christian Seydewitz. The painting depicts Mary, draped in a flowing robe, seated on a rock, her head tilted upward as she gazes heavenward. The sleeping Christ child rests in her arms, his head tilted back, his eyes closed. The scene is set in a peaceful landscape with trees and a distant bridge, creating a serene and devotional atmosphere. This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Seydewitz's mastery of classical composition and his ability to evoke emotional depth through religious themes.
