Beskrivning
This sweeping engraving titled Paysage sur le haut des Monts Fällén au milieu des nuages captures a tranquil high-altitude lake nestled among Nordic peaks, with heavy rain descending from dramatic cloud formations. Two figures on the shore emphasize the vastness of the terrain and the sublime character of the weather. This atmospheric work is part of Voyage pittoresque au Cap Nord, a landmark series illustrating Skjöldebrand’s scientific and artistic journey through northern Scandinavia. The composition demonstrates a fine balance between cartographic fidelity and romantic idealism, typical of early 19th-century topographical art.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand was a Swedish nobleman, military officer, artist, and writer known for his illustrated travel accounts of Scandinavia. His engravings provided an invaluable visual record of Northern European landscapes at the turn of the 19th century, blending scientific observation with artistic expression.
