About the piece
Painted in 1699 by Jacob Coning, this expansive landscape provides a rare glimpse into 17th-century Oslo (then known as Christiana). The artist uses a classic panoramic perspective, placing the viewer on a wooded hillside looking out across the harbor toward the fortified city and its distinctive red-roofed architecture. The play of light through the soft clouds and the atmospheric depth of the water create a grounding and dignified sense of history.
