Snowy River Landscape – Follower Of Thomas R. Curtin And Frits Thaulow

Description
This evocative winter landscape captures a snow-covered river flanked by pine trees and distant hills under a pale, luminous sky. Executed in oil with confident, impressionistic brushwork, the painting balances delicate tonal shifts with bold compositional structure. Cool blues, mauves, and pale yellows intermingle across the snowfields, while the dark reflections of evergreens ripple gently in the river below. The artist shows a clear sensitivity to atmosphere and light, drawing the viewer into the hushed stillness of a frozen day. Stylistically, the work sits firmly in the lineage of American plein air painting and recalls the landscapes of Thomas R. Curtin (1899–1977), with additional echoes of Nordic painters like Harald Sohlberg and Frits Thaulow, whose works explored the luminous subtleties of snow and winter light. With its painterly finesse and emotive calm, this piece resonates with a deep appreciation for nature’s quiet grandeur.
