Fine Art Tuesday

 

Amaldus Nielsen was born in 1838 in Norway. His father was a shipmaster and merchant. He had eleven children. He died in 1932 at the age of 94.

His style of art is dubbed "naturalist style". Most notable for painting scenes of where the land meets water.

His paintings appeal to me because while the hand of man is present in them, it is not overwhelming. Norway's climate does not bend easily to the hand of man and does not tolerate fools. The same can be said of the ocean.
