EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of an auroral crown, sketched in pencil and brought to life through colour lithography. Created by Fridtjof Nansen, a renowned explorer and scientist, this artwork is a testament to his extraordinary journey into the Farthest North. In December 1894, amidst the vast Arctic landscape, Nansen witnessed this mesmerizing celestial phenomenon. The delicate lines of his sketch perfectly depict the intricate patterns formed by shimmering lights dancing across the night sky. The auroral crown appears as a majestic halo encircling the polar region, illuminating its icy terrain with an otherworldly glow. Nansen's illustration was originally featured in his book "Farthest North" published in 1897. This visual representation serves as a vivid reminder of his daring expedition and relentless pursuit of discovery in one of Earth's most challenging environments. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are transported back to that momentous December night over a century ago. It reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity and unwavering determination to explore uncharted territories. Let this image serve as inspiration for all those who seek adventure and strive to push beyond their limits - just like Fridtjof Nansen did on his groundbreaking Arctic expedition.
