This view shows two imposing churches in the centre of Oslo: the copper-domed Trinity Church and Saint Olav’s Church in the background. Hints of blossoms evoke a change of season, and William H. Johnson (Florence, South Carolina, 1901 - Central Islip, New York, 1970) painted intense, expressionistic hues in the buildings and streets, perhaps to capture the emotional undercurrents of a grey, late-winter day.
