88 Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) – Descent from the Fällén Mountains Emerging from the Clouds – Engraving (1801–1802)
This atmospheric engraving, titled Descente des Monts Fällén en sortant des Nuages, depicts a dramatic Nordic landscape where glacial waterfalls surge down rugged cliffs under a darkened sky, capturing the sublime force of nature. It originates from Voyage pittoresque au Cap Nord, an illustrated travel publication based on Skjöldebrand’s journey through northern Scandinavia at the turn of the 19th century. The plate exemplifies the fusion of empirical landscape study and romantic visual interpretation that defined early scientific exploration in Northern Europe.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand was a Swedish nobleman, military officer, artist, and writer known for his illustrated travel accounts of Scandinavia. His engravings provided an invaluable visual record of Northern European landscapes at the turn of the 19th century, blending scientific observation with artistic expression.
