• The present work belongs one of Astrup's most successful woodblock series of circa 1909, based on the oil Light Night in June in J?lster of 1905. Astrup noted that most viewers of this series misunderstood the red colour on the mountain, taking it to be the last rays of a setting sun; instead his intention was to convey the distinctive colours visible around midnight in late June in Norway. As each version of Astrup's woodblock prints is unique, the somewhat subtler colouring in the present work is arguably part of a deliberate technique.
  
  Thoroughly familiar with the traditional technique of the Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, Astrup developed a technique for woodcuts that was both highly accomplished and original. To begin with he intended them for friends, often as gifts to thank them for services rendered. But as Astrup developed both his skill and his love of the medium they became highly prized, and much sought after.
  
  Once the blocks were carved, he would apply oil paint with a paint brush to the woodblock, inking each block individually for each impression, and use the 'Japanese method' of transferring the colour by laying the paper onto the woodblock. This involved rubbing the back of the paper either with his hands or with an implement of his devising, typically a piece of wood covered with rags. Between colours and printing from each block he would leave the impression to dry, sometimes hastening the process by drying it on his stove. Once he had printed all the different blocks, he invariably then touched up each completed impression by hand, painting in details or intensifying colours.
