More about this artwork
"Landskap fra Bærum" (1890) by Harriet Backer beautifully captures the serene essence of the Bærum landscape. This masterpiece delicately portrays a rural scene with subtle yet rich colors and fluid brushstrokes. In the foreground, a rich tapestry of wildflowers and grass fields stretches towards a humble cluster of farm buildings nestled among the verdant trees. The meandering path invites the viewer into the painting, leading them towards these rustic homes.The distant blue hills rise softly against a luminous, cloudy sky, creating a gentle contrast with the earthy tones of the village. Backer's use of light and shadow enhances the natural undulations of the terrain and the tranquility of the countryside. This painting not only reflects the physical charm of Bærum but also evokes a sense of peacefulness and timelessness, characteristic of Backer's work.
