Carl Budtz-Mølle, Afternoon Sun, The Silver Cliffs At Melsted

Carl Budtz-Mølle, Afternoon Sun, The Silver Cliffs At MelstedThis beautiful early 20th century oil on canvas by Danish artist Carl Budtz Mlle (1882 1953) is a triumphant celebration of light. The artists joy is apparent and it lifts the spirits to witness such radiance. The silver cliffs of Melsted in Denmark are an array of tints as they extend across the vista. Their rugged surfaces offset by the Summertime hues of the grasses. While in the foreground, four sheep graze in a shaded area a perfect spot to enjoy
