Wooded Hills behind a Meadow with a Peat Bog 1840 - 1905

"Wooded Hills behind a Meadow with a Peat Bog" is an oil on canvas landscape painting by Danish artist Valentin Ruths (1825-1905). The painting, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a serene Danish landscape with lush greenery and a winding stream leading to a wooded hill in the distance. The light in the painting suggests a late afternoon with soft, warm tones bathing the scene. Ruths' attention to detail and realistic representation of nature make this a beautiful example of 19th-century Danish landscape painting.
