An Ancient Burial Mound by Raklev on Refsnæs

An Ancient Burial Mound by Raklev on Refsnæs is a Danish landscape painting by Johan Thomas Lundbye from 1839.

[1] The painting is executed in the national romantic tradition, as advocated by Niels Laurits Høyen.

In the foreground is the painting's central motif, a tumulus.

The painting uses this very prominent figure, a giant mound that pushes the image background back, to give great depth to the painting.
