Stockholm, Zweden
De eigenaar is bekend. Of het vandaag te zien is, zegt het museum niet, en gissen hebben wij niet geleerd.
In many ways, Bengt Nordenberg’s painting lives up to the expectations on Romantic artists, with Caspar David Friedrich as the typical example – with the averted figures and the spectacular lighting. However, while Friedrich set his scenes in anonymous places in a timeless ideal world, Nordenberg’s painting relates to a specific event. On 28 July, 1851, a solar eclipse took place that could be seen throughout most of northern Europe.
