Harriet Backer (1845-1932). The music of color

September 24, 2024 January 12, 2025

Although little known outside Norway, within her country Harriet Backer was the most renowned female painter of the late 19th century. Highly acclaimed for her rich, luminous use of color, she created an eminently personal style that blends interior scenes and open-air painting. She drew inspiration from the realist movement as well as from the innovations of Impressionism, with free brushstrokes and meticulous attention to variations in light. She is also famous for her tender portraits of rural life and her interest in church interiors.
