Early November, North Greenland 1933

"Early November, North Greenland" (1933) by American artist Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) depicts a serene and captivating scene of the Arctic landscape. The painting showcases a vast expanse of snow-covered mountains, a frozen sea, and towering icebergs. The composition is dominated by the majestic mountains, their peaks reaching towards a vibrant blue sky. The foreground features a small group of figures, likely Inuit people, gathered on the shoreline, adding a sense of scale to the immense landscape. This work, now located in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, embodies Kent's love for the Arctic and his skill in portraying the beauty of its harsh yet stunning environment.
