About the piece
Painted in 1909 by Kristen Holbø, this work exemplifies the atmospheric power of Norwegian landscape painting. The artist uses a palette of deep blues, cool teals, and earthy greens to depict the dramatic clearing of fog over a mountain peak, with the visible, swirling brushwork lending a sense of movement and raw natural energy to the scene.
