Alfred Broge, A View Of Arrenakke Bakke

Alfred Broge, A View Of Arrenakke BakkeThis early 20th century oil painting by Danish artist Alfred Broge (1870 1955) depicts a dramatic sky over Arrenakke Bakke, Denmark. Moments after heavy rainfall, the light conjures a dark orange glow transforming the Autumnal plains into otherworldly topography.

which gives the portrait a sense of life and vitality
