1850
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
High Mountains is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of animals—likely reindeer—standing on a snowy, rocky hillside. The sky above is pale blue with wispy clouds, and the ground below is covered in jagged ice or snow. In the foreground, there are star-like shapes with blue centers, possibly representing flowers or symbols. The artist signed it "Skome-Heidi" and wrote "Gunhild" in the corner, which might be their name or a reference. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. Next, check out impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
