Dutch painting of the early 17th century was in a deep sleep. The artists preferred to paint portraits and genre paintings. Naturalistic depiction was not the main focus of their works. The Dutch landscape was neither considered attractive by the artists nor by collectors and was depicted in an ideal form. Allart van Everdingen chose the path to landscape painting, which initially promised him little perspective. Everdingen left the country and went on a journey. There are various speculations about what happened during his journey. Allart van Everdingen left his home country in a northerly direction. Perhaps his destination was Copenhagen in order to intensify his art studies there. The artist chose the sea route to Denmark. The ship got caught in a storm and was damaged. Undamaged, but saved, the artist had to stay in Norway until the ship was seaworthy again and Everdingen could continue its journey. During his short stay in the far north, the artist experienced the fascinating nature of Norway. The dense forests and rugged rocks of the fjords inspired the artist and he began to sketch. It was the first encounter of a Dutch landscape painter with such an expressive landscape. Everdingen continued his journey and returned to the Netherlands after a short stay. In his studio he began to work on his sketches.
Expressive and with a masterly art of painting Everdingen brought his impressions of the Nordic landscape on the canvas. Dark fir trees, rugged rocks and rushing waterfalls developed into scenes that did not need any correction to become ideal. The colours, often dark and gloomy, were illuminated by Everdingen with the natural light of the landscape. Everdingen is regarded as a painter who brought the Nordic mountain landscapes into painting. At the same time he opened the view for the native landscape and gave impulses, which were fundamental for the Dutch landscape painting.
The intensive study and depiction as well as the detailed knowledge of the pine forests, clearings and charming wooden houses suggest that the painter undertook a study trip through Norway beyond a short stay. Everdingen dedicated himself to the truth of nature in painting and thus raised his appreciation of his own environment.
Besides painting, the artist also made etchings. At the beginning of the century the etching technique with copper plates was developed. A method that enabled artists to duplicate and sell their works. In the society slowly developed a feeling for collecting for art and etchings were at a lower price level in acquisition than commissioned works in oil. Everdingen works enjoyed great popularity and became a sought-after commodity among collectors. With success came imitators who took up the motifs of foreign landscapes and incorporated them into their own works.
