Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1900s.
Reaching towards the heavens with an ethereal undertone. Connecting nature to the great beyond and man with nature itself. Petersen describes this via a portrait composition, which emphasises the epic canopy as it towers over the cattle. Our low vantage point amplifies the sense of majesty.
Petersen worked in a style influenced by one of the masters of romantic Danish landscape painting, Vilhelm Kyhn (1819-1903). Kyhn’s landscapes are often exquisitely rendered and celebrate an idealised view of nature.
The painting is monogrammed, dated and housed within a gilt frame.
Signed/dated and held within a gilt frame.
