Description
A view of the medieval wall that surrounds the town of Visby, located on the island of Gotland, Sweden. The tower in the foreground is likely the Långa Lisa (Tall Lisa). The most extensive and well preserved medieval defensive wall in Scandinavia, the Visby City Wall also features the oldest non-religious structure in the Nordic countries, the Gunpowder Tower, and is a World Heritage Site. Krause has depicted the famous landmark at sunset, with the Baltic Sea beyond.
From the collection of the Danish writer, critic, and collector, Georg Frederik Brøchner (1847-1933). Brøchner wrote many articles for The Studio and The International Studio.
