Maritime Views
Peter Vilhelm Carl Kyhn
1849–53 · Etchings · Drawings and Prints
Kyhn created these moody and emotive etchings of vessels at sea, as Denmark was fighting unsuccessfully with Germany for control over the southern duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Here, Kyhn celebrates the sea as an inextricable part of the Danish landscape.
