About the piece
Painted in 1839, this masterpiece by Thomas Fearnley is a cornerstone of Norwegian National Romanticism. The ancient birch tree—a symbol of the Norwegian landscape—stands heroically on a grassy knoll as two small figures observe the reflective waters of the Sognefjord and the distant, glowing mountains bathed in the dramatic light of the setting sun.
