Nordkapp i måneskinn

By Peder Balke

Oil Painting, 1848

Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Hi, lovebugs😍 I might be a liar, so I'm just gonna do light posts until I find the time, motivation, and drive to keep doing what I'm doing best (which I need to figure out what I was doing best because it's been some time😭).

English title: The North Cape by Moonlight

Hint the Romantic Nationalism tag... yeah (I think I found my motivationnnn), we're gonna revisit that. It's integral to this piece.
