Did you know?
Claude Monet traveled to Norway in 1895, staying in Sandvika, where he was captivated by the dramatic winter landscapes. Despite the challenging cold and deep snow, he completed twenty-nine canvases in just two months, capturing the unique quality of light and atmosphere. His friend, the painter Frits Thaulow, encouraged him to visit, and Monet found inspiration in the "terrible beauty" of the Norwegian fjords and snow-covered villages.
