About the piece
Painted in 1850 by Johan Christian Dahl, the father of Norwegian landscape painting, this oil study on cardboard depicts Nystuen in the Filefjell mountain range. The work showcases Dahl's mastery of atmosphere, with soft, diffused light playing over the still water and the textured, rocky terrain under a vast, cloud-filled sky.
