About the piece

Painted by Knud Baade around 1850, this dramatic landscape captures the spirit of Norwegian Romanticism. A solitary figure, perhaps a hero from the ancient sagas, stands upon a craggy precipice as moonlight pierces through a tempestuous sky, reflecting off the dark, churning waves of the Northern sea.
