Norwegian Landscape with a Rainbow 1821

J.C. Dahl's "Norwegian Landscape with a Rainbow" (1821) showcases the artist's mastery of landscape painting. The oil on canvas painting depicts a serene Norwegian landscape with a prominent rainbow arching over a river and forested hills. A lone figure sits by the riverbank, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the vast natural scene. Dahl’s work exemplifies Romanticism's emphasis on the sublime beauty of nature and its awe-inspiring power. The painting is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
