Fra Jøttafjell, Høvingen 

Kitty Lange Kielland painted "Fra Jøttafjell, Høvingen" using oil on canvas, capturing a sweeping Norwegian landscape. The scene is dominated by horizontal bands of colour, from the muted greens and browns of the fields to the soft blues and greys of the sky. This layered composition creates a sense of depth and distance. Kielland's brushwork is loose and expressive, particularly in the rendering of the sky, where clouds are suggested through textured strokes. This technique evokes a sense of atmosphere and temporality. Notice how the subtle variations in colour and tone across the fields suggest texture and light. Kielland was part of a generation of artists who sought to capture the essence of the Nordic landscape. Her use of colour and form reflects an interest in the emotional and psychological impact of nature. The subdued palette and broad, horizontal composition create a mood of quiet contemplation. The painting can be seen as a study in the formal qualities of landscape painting. It invites reflection on how composition and colour create meaning.
