111 Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1757–1834) – Fleuve d’Alten, Cascade de Pursoronka – Alten River in northern Norway (1801–1802)
This antique aquatint engraving titled Fleuve d’Alten, Cascade de Pursoronka captures a dramatic view of a waterfall cascading down the steep cliffs into the Alten River in northern Norway. The surrounding scenery, with jagged mountain ranges, deep fjords, and moody clouds, exemplifies the grandeur and remoteness of the Scandinavian landscape. Human figures and boats along the shore accentuate the monumental scale of nature depicted. The work was published by Charles Delén in Stockholm, 1801–1802.
The artist, Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand, was a prominent Swedish count, general, and artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Known for his skill in aquatint and engraving, Skjöldebrand contributed significantly to the visual documentation of Scandinavian topography. This print is part of the rare and important publication Picturesque Voyage to Cape Nord, which chronicled Skjöldebrand’s journey to the far north. The work was published by Charles Delén in Stockholm between 1801 and 1802.
