About the piece

Painted in 1859, Hans Gude’s 'Waterfall in Hallingdal' is a masterwork of Norwegian Romantic Nationalism. The composition masterfully balances the churning white energy of the falls against the dark, stable presence of the surrounding mountains, while the inclusion of loggers in the foreground provides a sense of scale and human connection to the wild terrain.
