Vid udsigt. Mols 1936

This is "Vid udsigt. Mols", painted by Charles Godtfredsen; a landscape that feels both familiar and dreamlike. You can almost feel the sun-drenched fields and the gentle breeze. I can imagine Godtfredsen standing there, squinting slightly, trying to capture the subtle shifts in color and light. The canvas probably propped up on a rickety easel, fighting the wind! There is a real feel for the landscape as he’s responded, stroke by stroke, to the scene in front of him. Look how the brushstrokes create these rolling hills. It’s not just about representation; it's about feeling the earth beneath your feet. This work reminds me of other painters who were deeply connected to their environment, artists like Vilhelm Hammershøi, who was looking at something and then responding in their own way. Every brushstroke here is part of an ongoing exchange, a conversation that transcends time. And it invites us to join in.
