Alpine Winter Forest, Peder Mønsted — Art Postcard

Mønsted spent extended periods in Switzerland and the Bavarian Alps, and this painting belongs to that body of work — snow-laden spruce in the foreground, alpine peaks in the bright winter distance. The deep blue shadows on the snow and the precise weight of the laden branches are characteristic of his alpine compositions.

Reproduced at 10×15 cm on heavy 350 g/m² card, the print holds the contrast between deep blue shadow and brilliant snow without flattening either. Of interest to collectors of alpine landscape art and to postcrossers who like sending winter mail with weight to it.
