More about this artwork

Harriet Backer's 1893 painting, "Farm Interior, Strålsjøhaugen," is an evocative portrayal of domestic tranquility and the humble simplicity of rural life. This masterpiece demonstrates Backer's skill in capturing the play of light within an indoor setting, a theme recurrent in her work. The painting's central focus is a wooden bed nestled next to a brightly lit window, bathing the room in a warm, golden light that contrasts starkly with the predominantly rich burgundy and earthy tones of the walls and floor.What is particularly remarkable about this piece is Backer's use of thick, confidently applied brush strokes, which add depth and texture, making the rustic interior come alive. These strokes skilfully outline the rough-hewn wooden beams and furniture, further highlighting the unadorned beauty of the farmhouse."Farm Interior, Strålsjøhaugen" not only reflects the physical space but also invokes a feeling of serene isolation and peaceful solitude, characteristic of Norwegian rural life during this period.
