Norden’s composition emphasizes spatial depth, with clustered funerary structures embedded into the terrain and distant hills anchoring the horizon. Published in 1755, the plate exemplifies Norden’s ability to merge archaeological observation with atmospheric landscape drawing. The scene records ancient burial grounds as part of a living geography, rather than isolating them as detached ruins. The engraving is particularly attractive for interior display due to its calm rhythm, balanced proportions, and expansive sky. Condition report: Light browning and occasional spotting. Impression remains crisp. Framing tips: Wide matting recommended; suits gilt, ebonized, or soft grey frames. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Frederik Ludvig Norden, after Marcus Tuscher, Denmark, 1755 See less
