EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel sketch, titled "Light Phenomena in the Polar Night, 22nd November 1893" transports us back to a moment of wonder and mystery in the Arctic. Created by Fridtjof Nansen, a renowned artist and explorer, this artwork is an exquisite representation of the ethereal beauty that can be found in nature's most extreme environments. The scene depicted here showcases a mesmerizing play of light on the sky and sea during the polar night. The cold air seems to shimmer with an otherworldly glow as vibrant colors dance across the water's surface. It is as if time stands still in this frozen landscape, where darkness reigns for months on end. Nansen's meticulous attention to detail brings forth not only a visual spectacle but also evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about our planet's geographical features. Through his artistry, he invites us to contemplate the mysteries hidden within these remote regions. Originally featured in Nansen's book "Farthest North" this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document from the late 19th century. Its inclusion in Archibald Constable and Company's publication further solidifies its significance within literature and geography. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and our eternal quest for understanding nature’s wonders.
