About the piece

Painted in 1901 by Nándor Katona, this oil study captures a peak in the Tatra Mountains. The work uses a sophisticated palette of deep forest greens and golden ochres in the foreground, contrasted against the cool, misty greys and whites of the distant peaks. The visible brushwork and thick application of paint give the landscape a tactile, immediate quality characteristic of early 20th-century European landscape painting.
