71 Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) – Pied des Monts Fjällen du côté de la mer – Aquatint Engraving from Voyage Pittoresque à travers la Suède (c.1802)
This aquatint engraving titled Pied des Monts Fjällen du côté de la mer depicts the lower slopes of the Scandinavian mountain range (Fjällen) as they descend toward the coast, likely referencing the Gulf of Bothnia or the Norwegian Sea. The landscape is richly rendered in tonal aquatint, showing forested hills, winding mountain paths, and finely detailed birch trees in the foreground. A group of travelers or naturalists can be seen observing the terrain, evoking the Enlightenment-era spirit of exploration and study of the natural world. This is Plate XL from Voyage Pittoresque à travers la Suède, the grand topographical work initiated by Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand and published in the early 19th century to promote the beauty and diversity of the Swedish landscape.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) was a Swedish count, military commander, and artist known for his political influence and cultural patronage during the Gustavian era. His most celebrated contribution to the arts is the Voyage Pittoresque à travers la Suède, a richly illustrated publication designed to showcase the natural wonders and historical heritage of Sweden to a European audience.
