Sanderumgaards have 3 1798

J.F. Clemens made this detailed drawing of Sanderumgaard's garden with pen and ink. Created in the late 18th to early 19th century, it reflects a period when garden design was deeply entwined with social identity and philosophical ideals. In the drawing, Clemens captures not just a garden, but a curated space reflective of class and leisure. The lone figure walking along the path and the seated woman under the trees invite contemplation. This contrasts with the labor and resources required to maintain such an idyllic scene. Consider how access to these spaces was highly determined by social standing. What does it mean to find solace or inspiration in a setting that is inherently exclusive? How do these constructed environments shape our understanding of nature and our place within it? Take a moment to consider the contrasts embedded in this seemingly tranquil scene.
