View of a House in Hørsholm
1910
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This photo shows a house with a steep, snow-covered roof. In the foreground, a bare tree stands in front of the building, its branches twisting against a gray sky. The ground is blanketed in snow, and the house looks old, with simple windows and a dark door. The brushy, rough texture suggests it might be a painted photo or a sketchy print—like someone quickly captured the scene. The snow and shadows make the house look quiet and still. If you like this style, check out impasto for more on thick, textured painting techniques.
