Description

View of the Lofoten Islands painted from a ship in 1913. The runic themed font in the original frame reads 'Your dreaming shores that I saw in this ethereal silence: you never imagined that another thunder than Thor's would reverberate around you with wild uncertainty'. This reflects Fidus' interest in Norse mythology.
