Culmins spøgelse viser sig for hans mor, 1794

Culmin's Ghost Appears to His Mother is an oil painting by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, created in 1794. It depicts a scene from the Ossianic cycle, a collection of epic poems presented by James Macpherson as translations of ancient Scottish tales, though they were later largely discredited as fabrications. The painting captures the melancholic moment when the ghost of Culmin appears to his grieving mother, blending neoclassical style with the romanticists fascination with the supernatural and human emotion.
