Monolith and Trees
Thomas Fearnley Norwegian
The strikingly large scale of this boulder relative to its setting betrays the influence of both Johan Christian Dahl, with whom Fearnley studied in Dresden in 1829–30, and Dahl’s neighbor, Caspar David Friedrich. This study may document one of the rock formations in the terrain southeast of Dresden, or the site might be in Norway, where Fearnley was born and raised.
