About the piece

This 1836 oil painting by Johan Christian Dahl masterfully depicts the Fortundalen valley in Norway. Dahl, a leading figure in Romantic landscape painting, expertly balances the wild energy of the mountain stream with the serene presence of cattle in the valley, all framed by the overwhelming scale of the Scandinavian peaks.
