A magnificent Winter Landscape by the Swedish artist Anton Genberg (1862-1939).
In this painting from 1912, we see the characteristic features that made him so famous. 
Like the earlier impressionism movement became famous for their understanding of depicting what they see and not what one expects; as an example, we imagine snow as white, but the snow changes colour in an extensive colour scale. 
Genberg took the impressionism ideas and further developed them. 
This painting has a wide spectrum of colours: the snow is purple, blue, pink, and the sky glows in red, yellow, purple and blue in the evening light. 
A small spring river flows through the winter landscape with bold and fast brushstrokes similar to Edvard Munch's technique in painting. 
This unique, exceptional painting comes with a gorgeous golden frame.
