Landscape with a Rainbow
1850
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a quiet, misty landscape with a small body of water in the foreground. Tall trees with bare branches stand on the right, while the sky above is soft and cloudy. The colors are mostly muted grays and whites, giving it a cool, peaceful feel. The title hints at something missing—no rainbow appears here. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy in places, as if the artist worked quickly or left parts unfinished. If you like this style, check out *impasto* to see how thick paint can create texture.
