About the piece
Painted in 1839 by Thomas Fearnley, this oil study exemplifies the Norwegian Romantic movement's fascination with the sublime power of nature. The composition emphasizes the grandeur of the Sognefjord mountains, rendered in deep blues and purples, set against a swirling, painterly sky that suggests an approaching storm.
