About the piece

Painted in 1814 by Johan Christian Dahl, the 'father of Norwegian landscape painting,' this work captures the rugged beauty of the Nordic wilderness. A small thatched cottage and watermill sit at the edge of a turbulent stream, dwarfed by the massive, sun-drenched rocky heights and a shifting, expansive sky that exemplifies the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime in nature.
