The motif for the 1995 A. Michelsen Christmas series was created by artist Ole Kortzau, inspired by the ancient Nordic tradition of the mid winter festival. “The sun that gives us hope of rebirth of the light which is absent in the winter, and which spring brings back to us.”. The motif, entitled the winter solstice, is executed in lovely colors characteristic of a winter landscape at sunset red, white and blue.
