This beautifully illustrated catalog explores the mystical allure of the northern landscape through late 19th- and early 20th-century paintings from Scandinavia, Finland, and Canada, from the glow of the midnight sun to the haunting beauty of Arctic winters and the shimmering auroras above.

Bringing together works from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the publication features celebrated artists such as Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Hilma af Klint, and Tom Thomson, alongside lesser-known but extraordinary painters including Emily Carr, Harald Sohlberg, Gustaf Fjæstad, Prince Eugen of Sweden, and others. The catalog also includes paintings by Ivan Shishkin, Anna Boberg, Helmi Biese, Lawren S. Harris, and J. E. H. Macdonald – offering a broad, compelling look at the ways artists have captured the mystique and magic of the North.
