Mike, Could that have been the Skagen painters, from the northernmost part of Denmark?
http://www.danacup.pp.se/Usa/Skagen.htm http://www.skagen-tourist.dk/side4.htm http://www.aarhuskunstmuseum.dk/html_uk/retro_html/dk_kunstner_uk.html #skagen There were many Norwegian painters in contact with that circle too: Kitty Kielland, Christian Skredsvik, Erik Werenskiold, Harriet Backer, to name a few. One italian site that have some thumbnails of pictures from many of them is: http://www.comune.fe.it/diamanti/mostra_dahl/opere_realismo.html However, I doubt that any of them ever came to Northern Norway. The light up there is a whole different story. One of my little dreams is to go to Finnmark or even to Spitsbergen one April to experience the Light. Got to be damn lucky with the weather, though...:-) Jostein ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Johnston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 9:05 PM Subject: Re: Snow Photo > > Don't envy you the storm, P�l. > > But the light you have on clear days... <sigh> > > One of the best museum shows I ever saw was of Scandinavian painting between > 1890 and 1910.
