Lovers in a Landscape
1840
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows two figures sitting close together in a dim, rocky landscape. One person is wrapped in a loose cloak, while the other leans against them, both looking away. Behind them, a large, smooth boulder dominates the scene, with a faint glow on its surface. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, textured feel. The light is focused on the figures, making them stand out against the dark background. This style is called *impasto*.
