Painted in 1898, ‘Modner Jorder (Ripe Fields)’ by #Norwegian artist Harald Sohlberg is being presented at auction for the first time, having remained in the same private collection for more than seventy years. A master of slow looking, Sohlberg achieves his glowing, intense colour by applying layer upon layer of translucent glazes, and paints each leaf individually. Arguably more than any other artist, he defined how those native to #Norway think and feel about the Norwegian landscape.

Confirming the high regard in which Sohlberg held ‘Ripe Fields’, the painting was included in no fewer than eight international exhibitions during his lifetime, and made an appearance, reversed, in the artist’s best-known self-portrait, which he painted in Paris.

On view in our #London galleries as part of our sale of 19th Century European Paintings sale on 11 December.
