Why it matters
A steep clay cliff on the Roskilde Fjord rises above two men with a cart that has lost a wheel. Lundbye saw himself in the broken cart, writing in his diary: 'I am like the old cart, my friend!'
Did you know?
- It was painted in 1843.
- Lundbye made the cliff much higher than it really is.
- It is a key work of Danish national Romanticism.
