The Scandinavian Landscape
12.45—1.30pm
Scandinavian nineteenth-century landscape painting assimilated developments in Western Europe, but adapted them to capture the grandeur and atmosphere of the North, producing sublime and emotionally charged pictures of natural formations and light effects. Professor Christina Lodder, University of Edinburgh, will explore this tradition and its relationship to Edvard Munch’s landscapes, which are often seen as intense and innovative images reflecting inner turmoil rather than a physical terrain.
Free to attend, no booking required.
