Gustav Fjaestad- Tarde De Invierno Junto A Un Rio 1907

A little over a century ago the great Scandinavian artists of nature painted so many evocative paintings of snow and ice—but I’m particularly drawn to the works which capture the movement of water in this frozen world, the ripples and rapids and cold, freezing waters and how light is reflected in their depths on even the grayest of wintry days.
