DescriptionDescription: This vast view is one of the most emblematic artworks of national romanticism from around 1900. The twilight, the decorative lines and its monumental character are all typical qualities of the era’s landscape painting. Otto Hesselbom produced numerous paintings with similar subjects from Dalsland. The painting’s title – “Our Country” – hints at the subject’s identity-creating function.
