EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moonlight, 22 November 1893" transports us back to a moment in history when Fridtjof Nansen, the renowned explorer, captured the ethereal beauty of a moonlit night. The pastel sketch, transformed into a mesmerizing colour litho, showcases Nansen's artistic talent and his deep connection with nature. In this artwork, the moon takes center stage as it intersects and passes through its own luminous axis. The framed moons create an intriguing exploration of light and shadow that stretches across the horizon in vertical portions. The visible presence of the full moon is strongly emphasized against a mock arctic landscape. Nansen's skilled hand brings forth a suggestion of movement as he captures the patch of moonlight on this significant date - 22 November 1893. With meticulous detail, he marks both horizontal and vertical elements to depict not only our planetary moon but also exomoons from outer space. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported to Farthest North - an expedition that defined Nansen's legacy. This artwork serves as a reminder of human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge beyond our earthly boundaries.
