About the piece
Created in 1865, 'The Tarn' is a quintessential example of Lars Hertervig's uniquely atmospheric and often mystical approach to landscape painting. This work captures a still mountain pool framed by weathered trees and rugged rock formations, set against a luminous sky where the clouds take on a dramatic, almost supernatural presence characteristic of Norwegian Romanticism.
