Mønsted's Open Landscapes

Peder Mork Mønsted is best known for his scenes of forest streams, so it's interesting to see what he does with open fields. 


Heather Covered Hills by Peder Mork Mønsted contrasts the greens with the reddish tinge of the heather.

Exquisite. Lovely sense of space, it really captures an outdoor feel with such vibrant colors.

Do you think he used photo reference? I wonder if photos from that time would have been detailed enough... and I suppose for colour he would be working from life or going by memory. Look at the variety of greens! Amazing.
