Frits Thaulow, Master of Streams and Valleys

Though separated by nationality and temperament, Claude Monet and Frits Thaulow were united by something far deeper than geography could divide: a shared devotion to the fleeting truth of nature observed directly, honestly, and without compromise. Thaulow, the great Norwegian master of rivers and winter light, had long understood what his French companion was only beginning to discover: that the north held a raw, unvarnished beauty that demanded everything from a painter. See why Monet was captivated by Fritz Thaulow and his skilful handling of rivers and streams. Fully illustrated with over 100 pages, a must-have for the landscape painter and art lover.
