Vidda in Spring

Vidda om våren – 1991

Title Translation: Vidda in Spring
Medium: Watercolour on paper
Signature: Signed “Sigurd Bergmann”

In Vidda om våren, Sigurd Bergmann captures the fragile, expectant awakening of the Norwegian mountain plateau in early spring. Wisps of lingering snow rest against sun-kissed earth, and a soft veil of colour spreads across the terrain—delicate yellows, olive greens, and the faintest blushes of blooming flora.

The mountain range in the background stands as a quiet guardian of the scene, rendered in muted tones of violet-grey and ivory. Bergmann’s brushwork is light and atmospheric, full of space and breath, reflecting a season that tiptoes in with promise rather than flourish. A celebration of life returning, in one of Norway’s most tranquil landscapes.
