The Mountain Einundfjell 1897

Harriet Backer's 1897 painting "The Mountain Einundfjell" depicts a serene Norwegian landscape. The artist's signature use of light and color brings a sense of tranquility to the scene. The painting focuses on the foreground, featuring a close-up view of a patch of wild, rugged terrain, with a small lake in the middle distance. The mountainous backdrop is rendered with soft, bluish hues, creating a sense of depth and distance. This landscape painting is a testament to Backer's ability to capture the beauty of her native Norway, and the powerful impact of nature on the human spirit.
