Lars Hertervig (February 16, 1830 - 1902) was a Norwegian landscape painter. His contemporaries considered him mad and he was committed for a number of years. Modern art historians see him as a forerunner to Modernism and even Surrealism, esp. because of his eerie use of light over water and mountains. He did not paint any human figures in his landscapes, either…
