About the workThe Swedish landscape painter Axel Nordgren was one of a group of northern European artists who moved to Düsseldorf to study in the mid-nineteenth century. Unlike many of his colleagues, he stayed there. However, he regularly travelled to Sweden and Norway in the summer, where he gathered motifs and inspiration. Nordgren often painted quiet, deserted Nordic landscapes. Here he chose a striking horizontal format to emphasise the expanse of the mountains and the vastness of the sky.
