EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel sketch, titled "Aurora borealis, 18 October 1894" takes us back in time to witness the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights. Created by Fridtjof Nansen, a renowned explorer and artist, this colour lithograph transports us to the Arctic wilderness. The vivid hues of green and purple dance across the night sky, as if nature itself is putting on a mesmerizing show. The delicate strokes of pastel capture the ephemeral quality of this natural phenomenon, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Nansen's artwork was originally intended as an illustration for his book "Farthest North" published in 1897. It serves as a visual testament to his groundbreaking expedition into uncharted territories. As we gaze at this print from our private collection, we are reminded of Nansen's bravery and determination in venturing into the unknown. The aurora borealis holds deep cultural significance for many indigenous communities living near polar regions. It has been revered as both a spiritual spectacle and a scientific marvel throughout history. This particular depiction allows us to appreciate its magnificence through Nansen's artistic lens. As we immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen in time, let us be inspired by Nansen's exploration spirit and reflect on our own capacity for discovery. The Aurora Borealis continues to captivate audiences today with its otherworldly allure – reminding us that there is still much left to explore beyond our familiar horizons.
