Udsigt over en by med sydlandsk arkitektur 1743 - 1809

Nicolai Abildgaard's "Udsigt over en by med sydlandsk arkitektur" is a pencil and wash drawing depicting a view of a city with southern architecture. The work, created between 1743 and 1809, is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing captures the artist's fascination with architecture and the charm of the city, offering a glimpse into the urban landscapes of Southern Europe. The delicate lines and subtle washes bring a sense of depth and texture to the cityscape. The use of light and shadow adds a sense of realism to the work. Abildgaard, a prominent Danish artist of the 18th century, often incorporated architectural motifs into his artistic creations.
