Have you experienced our immersive production "Amaldus Nielsen. Linadalen near Mandal"?

This digital production invites you into the painting through light, sound, and movement. It seeks to bring to life the atmosphere and light that characterize Nielsen’s landscapes. The immersive format gives you the opportunity to experience the landscape as Nielsen himself may have done—quiet, intimate, alive, and all-encompassing.

Amaldus Nielsen (1838–1932) is considered one of Norway’s most significant landscape painters. He was the first Norwegian artist to consistently paint outdoors in order to capture the light, the atmosphere, and what he sometimes referred to as nature’s “face.” The Lina Valley near Mandal presents a quiet Southern Norwegian scene—subdued, yet full of presence.

Nielsen grew up in Mandal, and the landscapes of Southern Norway shaped his entire artistic career. His painting style is both realistic and deeply sensitive to the subtle details of nature. He was widely recognized and beloved in his time, especially for his ability to capture light and preserve a sense of mood in his motifs.

The original painting can be seen in the exhibition "From Deep Valleys to Smooth Seaside Rocks" on the same floor.
