The fourth snow themed painting in this series is by a favourite of mine, the Danish artist Peder Mork Mønsted, who lived a long and fruitful life as a painter from 1859 to 1941.
This canvas dates from 1918, and goes to show that a snow scene does not necessarily have to be rendered in blues. It’s all about the light, this one.
A Winters Day in Charlottenlund 1918
Maybe what I like about his work is that it relates so directly to animation background painting, in that the vast majority of his canvases were devoid of people, and thereby resembled stage sets or backgrounds.
And I just love his middle name.
Here’s a link to Mønsted’s page on ArtCyclopedia, which should get you started in your researches.
