Emiliekilde på Strandvejen 1921

This sepia drawing by Jens Peter Lund captures the monument of Emiliekilde bathed in sepia ink sometime in the mid 19th century. I can imagine Lund outdoors, squinting in the sun trying to capture the nuances of light hitting the trees. It's all a bit of a balancing act: how much detail, how much suggestion? It's like when you're cooking, and you keep tasting, adding a little of this, a little of that, until it's just right. That dark sepia creates a moody, melancholic atmosphere. Lund is part of a long conversation, echoing through art history – from the old masters to contemporary mark-makers. Each artist adds their voice, their spin, riffing off what came before, and setting the stage for what's to come. It's like a never-ending jam session, where the only rule is to keep the energy flowing.
