Hammershus. Bornholm 1843

"Hammershus. Bornholm" is a watercolor painting by Vilhelm Kyhn, created in 1843. This artwork depicts the ruins of Hammershus, a medieval castle located on the Danish island of Bornholm. Kyhn's delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of watercolor create a sense of atmosphere and evoke the melancholic beauty of the crumbling structure. The painting, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, offers a glimpse into the Danish landscape and the legacy of historical architecture. The artwork's small size, 110 mm (height) x 187 mm (width), reflects Kyhn's talent for capturing detail and conveying a sense of place within a compact format.
