"Spring Rhapsody – Horses, Flowers, Grassland" by Konrad Galaaen (1923-2004)
--Oil on Canvas with back plate| Signed & Dated 1993

This rare, large-scale oil painting by acclaimed Norwegian artist **Konrad Galaaen** captures the vibrant energy of spring through a masterful depiction of five horses across a meadow. Signed and dated **"K. Galaaen 1993"** in the lower left, the work exemplifies Galaaen's signature blend of **Scandinavian romanticism and modernist composition**, rendered with lush brushwork and a dynamic color palette.

The scene unfolds across a sprawling grassland dotted with wildflowers, where horses in rich chestnut, ebony, and ivory tones stand in harmonious contrast against the verdant landscape. Galaaen’s expert handling of light and texture creates a sense of movement, as if the breeze carries the scent of blossoms through the canvas.

**Collector’s Notes:**
- **Provenance:** Documented work by a noted mid-century Norwegian artist
- **Condition:** Excellent; original canvas with stable paint layer
