Rejsedagbog 1845

"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small, handwritten notebook by Danish painter Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818-1848). This notebook records his observations and experiences during a trip to Switzerland in 1845. The diary is now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection and provides valuable insights into Lundbye's artistic process and his interest in the natural world. Lundbye's detailed descriptions of the Swiss landscape and his encounters with local people offer a glimpse into his artistic sensibilities and the influences that shaped his work.
