"Flower Meadow in the North," Harald Sohlberg, 1905.
Norwegian painter Sohlberg (1869-1935) painted in what is now called a Neo-Romantic style, depicting his love for his native land.
The rectangular field of flowers is arresting enough, but your eye is drawn to the small farmstead, and then beyond that the river and the pale sun hanging over the hill....perhaps this indicates that it was late in the evening of a Nordic summer?
I can find annoyingly little biographic information about him, but I want to investigate his work further. Scandinavian arts (aside from Edvard Munch) get little attention....
Happy Flower Friday!

"View from the Artist's Window," Martinus Rørbye, c. 1825.
Rørbye (1803-48) was one of the central artists of the Danish Golden Age of painting, in the first half of the 19th century, and this particular image is regarded as one of his best.
Painted when he was in his early 20s, we have a view from his parents' window at a navy yard with ships. It's loaded with symbols...the bird in the cage hanging at the window is him, about to break free and travel; the plants (including a pink geranium) show growth and development, and the blank book is waiting to be filled with sketches.
Rørbye was well-traveled for the era; he visited Norway and Sweden, and journeyed as far as Rome, Athens, and Constantinople. He even painted in the town of Skagen, a full fifty years before it became a popular artists' colony and home of the Skagen school. So the bird in the cage is a transition from his parents' home to exploring the wide world on one of those ships.
Happy Flower Friday!
