EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Polar Night, 24th November 1893" by Fridtjof Nansen takes us back to a moment of frozen beauty in the Arctic. Painted with watercolors and featured in his book "Farthest North" this artwork captures the essence of a mysterious phenomenon that occurred on that cold winter night. In this scene, the sky is shrouded in darkness as the polar night engulfs everything around. The sea appears calm and serene, its icy waters reflecting a faint glow from an unseen light source. Waves gently lap against each other, creating ripples on the glass-like surface. Nansen's brushstrokes expertly convey both the stillness and movement present in this landscape. The colors he uses evoke a sense of frigid coldness while also hinting at hidden warmth beneath the surface. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to another time - the late 19th century when explorations like Nansen's Fram Expedition were pushing boundaries and unraveling geographical mysteries. This print not only showcases Nansen's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. "The Polar Night, 24th November 1893" invites us to ponder upon our place within such vast landscapes and encourages us to appreciate both their beauty and enigmatic qualities. It stands as a testament to Nansen's dedication to capturing these fleeting moments through artistry while simultaneously documenting them for scientific exploration.
