Det indre af Bjernede Kirke 1912

Agnes Slott-Møller made this drawing of the interior of Bjernede Church with graphite on paper. Look at the quick, searching lines she uses to evoke the space and form of the church's interior. I can imagine her there, sketching rapidly, trying to capture the essence of the place. I wonder if she was thinking about the play of light, or the way the architecture shapes the space. The bareness of the sketch gives it an emotional charge. It's like she's trying to capture the atmosphere, not just the physical details. It makes me think about other artists who’ve drawn church interiors, each bringing their own vision and sensibility to these ancient spaces. There's a conversation happening across time, as artists respond to the work of their predecessors, finding new ways to see and interpret the world. It's all connected somehow, and we're part of it too.
