Did you know?
Claude Monet's trip to Norway in 1895, at the age of 54, was a significant artistic adventure. Despite the harsh winter conditions, he was captivated by the stark beauty of Mount Kolsås, near Oslo, painting it repeatedly to capture its varied moods and light, much like his famous haystacks and Rouen Cathedral series. This particular work reflects his mastery in conveying the ephemeral qualities of nature, even in a foreign land.
