More about this artwork

This captivating landscape by Gerhard Munthe, titled "Early Spring," was painted in 1922, featuring an evocative scene that heralds the arrival of spring. Dominated by a series of bare trees in the foreground, their delicate branches etch a fine network against the soft, muted sky. The trees are positioned along what appears to be a transitioning verge between winter and spring, where patches of snow still persist amidst the emerging colors of the season.The painting gives a view over a partially thawed landscape marked by vivid strokes of white, yellow, and green, hinting at the grass slowly reasserting itself after being blanketed in snow. The backdrop is a low horizon of dark hills that create contrast with the brighter, textured foreground, emphasizing a typical Scandinavian landscape subdued under an overcast sky.In "Early Spring," Munthe’s use of loosely applied, thick impasto paint reflects the transient, often unpredictable nature of the season, capturing the melting snow and budding trees in a symphony of texture and color. His style carries an impressionistic touch that manages to convey not just the visual beauty of the scene, but also the tentative warmth and renewal characteristic of early spring.
