About the piece

Created in 1909, this work by Norwegian painter Ludvig Karsten exemplifies his move toward expressive modernism. The composition uses a high-energy palette of deep blues and warm oranges to interpret the Finnish landscape, employing thick, confident brushstrokes that emphasize visual rhythm and light over literal representation.
