EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1898, capturing a thrilling ski competition in Fjelkenhill. Painted by the talented Gustav Wentzel, this oil on board masterpiece measures an impressive 140x275 cm and is now part of a private collection. The photograph, taken by O. Vaering, perfectly captures the essence of this winter sport event. The landscape of Norway serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this exhilarating scene. A steep slope covered in glistening snow stretches out before us, dotted with a lively crowd eagerly awaiting the race to begin. Skiers clad in vibrant attire can be seen scattered across the slopes, their graceful movements showcasing their skill and agility. Scandinavian spectators line the mountainside, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement as they cheer on their favorite competitors. The atmosphere is electric as both Norwegian locals and visitors from afar come together to witness this thrilling display of athleticism. Wentzel's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of this painting to life - from the intricate patterns etched into each skier's gear to the subtle variations in lighting that illuminate both foreground and background elements. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates skiing as a beloved winter sport but also pays homage to Norway's stunning natural landscapes.
