Aage Claudius Schult

A man sits in the quiet gravity of 1834. He is Aage Claudius Schult, captured in a bust-length portrait that refuses to look away.

Moonlight on the Norwegian Coast

There is a profound stillness in the way the moonlight meets the sea in this 1876 oil on canvas. We find ourselves on a rocky shoreline, where the dark, turbulent waves crash against the land with a rhythmic, heavy energy.
