Mountain Lakes, Olden, Norwas 1913

"Mountain Lakes, Olden, Norway" is an oil painting on canvas created by American artist Willard Metcalf in 1913. The painting depicts a scenic landscape with a rushing river winding its way through lush green fields and toward a distant village nestled at the base of towering, snow-capped mountains. Metcalf captures the vibrant colors and natural beauty of the Norwegian countryside, with the use of visible brushstrokes that give the landscape a sense of movement. The painting was made during a time when American Impressionism was gaining popularity, and reflects Metcalf's fascination with capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in nature.
