"Spring Rhapsody – Horses, Flowers, Grassland" by Konrad Galaaen (1923-2004)
--Oil on Canvas with back plate Signed & Dated 1993
This rare, large-scale oil painting by acclaimed Norwegian artist **Konrad Galaaen** captures the vibrant energy of spring through a masterful depiction of five horses across a meadow. Signed and dated **"K. Galaaen 1993"** in the lower left, the work exemplifies Galaaen's signature blend of **Scandinavian romanticism and modernist composition**, rendered with lush brushwork and a dynamic color palette.
The scene unfolds across a sprawling grassland dotted with wildflowers, where horses in rich chestnut, ebony, and ivory tones stand in harmonious contrast against the verdant landscape. Galaaen’s expert handling of light and texture creates a sense of movement, as if the breeze carries the scent of blossoms through the canvas.
**Collector’s Notes:**
- **Provenance:** Documented work by a noted mid-century Norwegian artist
- **Condition:** Excellent; original canvas with stable paint layer
- **Scale:** Substantial dimensions command presence as a statement piece
- **Versatility:** Complements both contemporary and traditional interiors
**Designer Appeal:**

- **Equestrian Collections:** Ideal for enthusiasts of equine art
- **Investment Potential:** Rare example of Galaaen’s pastoral oeuvre
Presented in its original condition, this painting arrives ready to elevate distinguished interiors—from cosmopolitan galleries to country estates. A singular opportunity for collectors of **20th-century European art** and **museum-quality Nordic works**.
