About the original:
The viewer is naturally led into the picture from the tree and bush on the left, via the tilted horse towards the man by the house. The gaze is directed further to the sunlit short side of the house and we can just make out the outhouse on the far left. The color scheme is muted, with an emphasis on shades of green in the vegetation and gray in the house's exterior walls.
As a young art student in Munich in the 1870s, Munthe decided to depict the landscape that he knew from his childhood in Eastern Norway. Here he found his
motifs in an undramatic and calm cultural landscape characterized by human activity. Many of the pictures have an element of everyday poetry and are often characterized by an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. Inspired by French plein air painting, Munthe became one of the first Norwegian artists to consistently work outdoors, with a realistic rendering of the subject. After he moved from Munich back to Norway in 1882, he often visited the villages of Hedmark to paint. He found the motif for Bondehagen on the farm Ulvin on the slopes down towards Mjøsa.
Gerhard Munthe was a very versatile artist who left his mark as a painter, illustrator, designer and writer. His art follows the development from realism, through neo-romanticism to symbolism.
