Harald Slott-MΓΈller was a Danish painter and ceramist. At the beginning of his career he painted genre paintings in a Realist manner. In the 1890s, influenced by Italian Gothic art and the work of the English painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Slott-MΓΈller turned from Naturalism to a kind of restrained Symbolism, expressed in poetic landscapes populated by isolated figures of women, like the one we present today.
