93 Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1757–1834) – Palojoki River in Lapland – Engraving (1805-1808)
This detailed engraving, titled "RIVIERE DE PALOJOCKI EN LAPONIE" (Palojoki River in Lapland), depicts a picturesque northern landscape. It showcases a winding river surrounded by rocky banks, lush vegetation including characteristic birch and coniferous trees, and rolling hills in the background. The composition conveys a sense of tranquility and remoteness inherent in wild nature, typical of early 19th-century Romantic landscapes that sought to capture the austere beauty of northern regions.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand was a distinguished Swedish military officer, cartographer, artist, and traveler. He is known for his expeditions to the northern regions of Scandinavia, the results of which were published in his monumental works Description of a Journey from Torneå to Piteå (1805) and A Journey to the North Cape (1808). His engravings, based on personal observations and drawings, played a key role in popularizing images of Lapland and its unique nature among the European public, combining scientific accuracy with artistic expression.
