About the piece

Created in 1912 by Nikolai Astrup, this work captures the mystical energy of a traditional Midsummer Night celebration. The vibrant, flame-licked bonfire serves as a brilliant focal point against the deep, moody tones of the surrounding mountains and fjords, showcasing Astrup's unique ability to blend folk tradition with a modern, expressive landscape style.
