This evocative aquatint engraving, titled "ROCHERS SUR LES CÔTES DE LA MER GLACIALE." (Rocks on the Coasts of the Glacial Sea.), is Plate LII from Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand’s notable work, "Voyage du Cap Nord" (Journey to the North Cape), published in 1802. The print depicts a dramatic seascape featuring massive, rugged rocky islands emerging from a turbulent sea, under a sweeping cloudy sky. A small boat navigates the rough waters in the foreground. This powerful landscape captures the stark and imposing beauty of the Arctic coastal regions, reflecting the adventurous spirit and artistic aims of early 19th-century travel documentation.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) was a distinguished Swedish military officer, cartographer, writer, and artist. His extensive travels through northern Europe, particularly his journey to the North Cape, provided the material for his celebrated topographical works. Skjöldebrand's meticulous observations and artistic skill combined to create detailed and atmospheric views of landscapes, which contributed significantly to the visual documentation of Sweden and its surrounding regions during the Romantic era.
