Nordic Impressionism is an art movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It is characterized by a focus on capturing the natural beauty of the landscape, light, and atmosphere, often using loose brushwork and vibrant colors. Artists sought to convey the unique qualities of their northern environments, such as the changing seasons and the effects of light. Key figures in Nordic Impressionism include Peder Severin Krøyer and Carl Larsson, who were known for their depictions of coastal scenes and rural life. This movement was influenced by the broader Impressionist movement in France but adapted to reflect the distinct cultural and environmental aspects of the Nordic region.
