Edvard Munch
The landscape was an essential genre for Edvard Munch. In the years around the turn of the century, he created a number of landscapes with winter motifs from Nordstrand (a borough of the city of Oslo). In 1900 and 1901, the artist created a group of similar paintings with a view over the Oslo Fjord; in restrained colors, they mark the high point of Munch's Symbolist landscape painting. Exhibited with great success at the Vienna Secession in 1904, the painting was titled Winter Night. I love its colors and the trees painted in a quite decorative way. When I look at it, I almost feel the cold, winter air.
