About the piece
Created in 1903 as a study for his larger masterwork, this oil sketch by Harald Sohlberg depicts the church at Røros under a deep blue nocturnal sky. The contrasting silhouettes of cemetery crosses in the foreground against the glowing, pale architecture create a powerful, atmospheric composition characteristic of the artist's celebrated Neo-Romantic style.
