About the piece

Created in 1839 by Johan Lundbye, this oil painting depicts an ancient burial mound at Raklev on the Danish peninsula of Refsnæs. A primary figure of the Danish Golden Age, Lundbye masterfully captures the rugged texture of the prehistoric stones against a luminous, atmospheric sky and a tranquil coastal vista.
