Art prints of paintings
Amaldus Nielsen

This collection brings together reproductions of landscapes by Amaldus Nielsen (1838–1932), a Norwegian painter born in Mandal. Fjords, archipelagos, ports, fishing villages, mountains and changing light create a sweeping journey along Norway’s coastlines.

The Sørlandet Coast around Mandal

The landscape of southern Norway accompanies Nielsen throughout his career. Kunstsilo highlights his direct observation of nature and his attention to light, atmosphere and the details of the motif. Hoven, Mandal, From the Lina Valley, Mandal and From Risbank near Mandal allow comparisons between coast, valley and countryside.

These works do not all present the same Norway: bare rocks, vegetation, houses, still water and heavy skies alter the perception of landscapes that are nevertheless geographically close.

Ny-Hellesund, Hvaler and the Archipelagos

The islands and channels gave Nielsen a setting in which to study the succession of planes between sea, rocks and horizon. Morning at Ny-Hellesund corresponds to one of the sites also documented in the collection of the National Museum of Norway. Skjærgård Archipelago at Ny-Hellesund broadens the view to encompass the structure of the archipelago.

At Hvaler, changes in the weather become a subject in their own right. After the Storm, Hvaler, Summer Night at Hvaler and Hvaler Quay contrast past turbulence, nocturnal clarity and harbour activity.

Fjords, Mountains and the Depth of the Landscape

The collection extends beyond the southern coast. Hardanger, Sognefjord, Gudvangen, Balestrand and Fjærland offer more vertical compositions, structured by slopes and the depth of the water. The National Museum preserves, in particular, a view of Ænes in Hardangerfjord dated 1886.

Hardanger Landscape, Mountains of Fjærland, Sogn and Gudvangen Landscape let you choose between expansive views, mountainous relief and an enclosed valley.

Mornings, Evenings and Changing Weather

For Nielsen, time of day and weather are not merely backdrops. Mist, rain, clearing skies, sunset and summer night transform the colours of the water and the legibility of the relief. Rainy Atmosphere can be paired with Sunset to create a diptych based on two states of light.

The catalogue therefore makes it possible to create a series by location, but also by time of day: clear morning light, the low evening sun or the atmosphere after a storm.

Choosing a Reproduction by Amaldus Nielsen

A horizontal view of an archipelago suits the space above a sofa, sideboard or bed. Fjord landscapes, structured more strongly by mountains, can give a narrow wall greater depth. For a cohesive arrangement, pair two or three works that share the same coastline or a similar palette of blues, greys and greens.

For the poster option, the print is offered on 140 g paper with HD rendering at 150 DPI, preserving crisp details and clear colours at both close and distant viewing distances. Dimensions, canvas and framing options vary according to the artwork, format and destination. The product page displays only the variants actually available.
