Description: | Signed: yes Description: This work is a very late painting by the German landscape painter Johann Bertholomeus Duntze (1823-1895). Duntze trained in Munich, Berlin and Geneva, living in Düsseldorf from 1876. Throughout his life he travelled around Europe painting dramatic mountainous landscapes, typical of this fine example. Other Norwegian fjord scenes by Duntze are dated 1858, 1863 and 1873, suggesting this remained a favourite subject throughout his career. It certainly exercised his skill in rendering the effects of light on water, as well as human emotion seen here in the woman waiting on the shore, presumably for her beloved. | Subjects: | landscape (Norway) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Duntze, J.B.
