Northern lights 1891

Theodor Kittelsen's 1891 "Northern Lights" is a striking black and white wood engraving that captures the mysterious beauty of the aurora borealis. The piece depicts a dramatic mountain range beneath a swirling sky, the intense light of the aurora illuminating the scene. The dark, jagged peaks of the mountains contrast sharply with the luminous sky, evoking a sense of both awe and foreboding. Kittelsen was known for his evocative depictions of Norwegian nature and mythology, and this artwork is a testament to his mastery of the woodcut medium.
