About the work

An unhindered view of the open landscape can be obtained in the immediate vicinity of the Otto Modersohn Museum in Fischerhude.

Here Christian Modersohn has captured on canvas the last vestiges of the melting blanket of ice and snow covering the expansive plains of the River Wümme. The setting sun is giving way to the encroaching twilight and shrouding everything in a warm and mellow light.
