Teknisk informasjon

The motif in The Parsonage in Rain is also found in another version, TBA (private collection), but here the rain creates a totally different accentuation of the motif through various colour effects. This also influences the technical, painterly execution of the painting. In this version, the sheer veil of rain conceals the colour details from our gaze, and is rendered with diluted paint, and bristly, dry brushstrokes. The other version is depicted with clearer colours and more precisely formed details – the brushwork is fuller, which give the surface a more glossy effect. There are additional examples of repeated use of motifs in Astrup’s work, but the differences are an essential feature nevertheless. He explains it as follows: “when a painter has seen a motif in many moods, – he will never resort to “making” two pictures of the same motif completely alike”.
