Edvard Petersen, Forest View, Fussingø, Jutland

Edvard Petersen, Forest View, Fussingø, JutlandThis 19th century oil on canvas depicts a wooded view within the attractive forests of Jutland, Denmark. The colouring is simple yet sublime earthy natural tones working in harmony to describe natures splendour. The artist, Edvard Petersen (1841 1911), has us standing on a worn woodland track essentially a ditch cut into the landscape. On either side, the earth is raised, possibly too steep to clamber up. While ahead, a wall of pines form a barricade
