View from Stalheim (1842)
Artist: Johan Christian Dahl
Johan Christian Dahl’s journey around Norway in 1826 left a lasting impression on his art. No less than sixteen years later, his drawings of the view from Stalheim down toward the narrow Nærø Valley in Sogn formed the basis for one of his most complex paintings.
In this dense composition, the mountains around Stalheim rise majestically against a dark sky heavy with rain; as the sun peeks through the clouds, light is reflected in the drops of water in the rainbow that arcs over the valley and keeps the landscape in a firm grip. The contrast to View from Bastei, painted in 1819, is striking: while the earlier painting focuses on a rocky protrusion overlooking a sheer drop, the abyss in View from Stalheim is hidden behind the small plateau in the foreground and is merely suggested by the mist from the waterfall. By making the mountainsides more precipitous than they are in reality, Dahl has constricted the pictorial space even further; the panorama becomes both monumental and intimate.
This secluded world contains a myriad of details, small scenes that all tell a story and that contrast the figures’ everyday chores and fleeting existence with the primordial mountain landscape and an entirely different sense of time. As with Winter at the Sognefjord, this painting also contains elements that have been ascribed a symbolic meaning: for example, the rainbow, the most eye-catching element, has been interpreted as a symbol of the divine and as an homage to the young Norwegian nation, while the mutilated birch in the foreground might allude to the violent forces of nature that pose a constant threat to humanity’s existence.

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

During my parents' annual visit, we planned an overnight getaway to Fredericksburg. After checking out of our hotel on Day 2 of our trip, we returned to Fredericksburg's downtown area and made our way down Main Street to the Marktplatz, or Market Square, which is situated along the 100 block of West Main Street. This public park features pavilions, walking paths, memorials, sculptures, and a wide variety of native plants and trees that collectively make up the Pioneer Memorial Garden.
Set amid the lush gardens is this handsome sculpture group titled ''Lasting Friendship'', which was created by artist J. Hester to commemorate the Meusebach–Comanche Peace Treaty. The kneeling figure is Fredericksburg founder John O. Meusebach and the seated one is Penateka Comanche Chief Santana (or Santa Anna), while the standing figure represents the other chiefs present that day. I took several photos of this sculpture group from different angles to show the detail on the individual statues. Two nearby plaques provide details on this work:
LASTING FRIENDSHIP
By J. Hester
John O. Meusebach, German settler and founder of Fredericksburg, and Penatuka Comanche Chief Santanna share a peace pipe May 9, 1847, at the signing of the treaty between the People of Fredericksburg and the Comanche Nation. The standing Comanche represents more than 20 other chiefs also participating in the treaty. This treaty is the only known peace treaty with Native Americans in United States history thought never to be broken. The spirit of this treaty continues in Fredericksburg today.
This bronze was presented to the City of Fredericksburg by the Fredericksburg 150th Anniversary Committee dedicated May 24, 1997.
A LASTING FRIENDSHIP
During Fredericksburg's 150th anniversary we celebrate the enduring friendship between the Comanche Nation and the People of Gillespie County. We honor the Comanches who helped to create and preserve this relationship and their descendants who have continued the friendship.
Chiefs Old Owl, Santana, Ketemoczy, Buffalo Hump, and Horseback were among about 20 chiefs present in 1847 at the San Saba River Peace Treaty Summit and at the Fredericksburg Treaty signing with John O. Meusebach, Fredericksburg's founder; also respectful friends Chief Quanah Parker, Herman Lehmann, and Rudolph Fischer.

With so many skincare products on the market, it can be hard to know which ones are actually worth your money. Today, I'll be reviewing the DermalMD Wrinkle Serum to see if it's a product that lives up to the hype.
The DermalMD Wrinkle Serum is a popular anti-aging product that promises to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The serum is made with hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and helps to keep it hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is often used in skincare products because it can help to plump the skin and make wrinkles less visible.
I've been using the DermalMD Wrinkle Serum for about two weeks now, and I have to say that I'm impressed with the results. I've noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin; it looks smoother and more hydrated; making this a great anti aging serum for 40s individuals. My fine lines don't seem as pronounced, and my overall complexion looks brighter. I'm also happy to report that I haven't experienced any adverse effects, like excessive dryness or redness.
All in all, I'm really happy with the DermalMD Wrinkle Serum. It's affordable, easy to use, and it actually works! If you're looking for a product that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, I would definitely recommend giving this serum a try.
