The Elbe In Evening Light 

"The Elbe in Evening Light" is a landscape painting by Johan Christian Dahl, a prominent Norwegian painter known for his romantic landscapes. The painting captures a serene sunset over the Elbe River, with a vibrant sky of orange, yellow and purple hues reflecting on the water. Dahl's brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature, a characteristic of the Romantic era. The distant figures on the river bank add a sense of scale and solitude to the scene.
