Thomas Fearnley was born in 1802 in Fredrikshald, now Halden, and died in Munich in 1842, at the age of thirty-nine. After brief military training in Christiania, he took courses at the new School of Drawing then continued his studies at the academies of Copenhagen and Stockholm.

Upon contact with Dahl, his drawings and oil studies became freer, more precise and closer to the immediate experience of the site. Fearnley travels then Europe: Dresden, Munich, the Alps, Italy, Switzerland, France and England. He walked from Munich to Italy in 1832 and stayed more than two years south, particularly studying light. The upper glacier of Grindelwald and Labro Falls become the emblematic motifs of a sublime observed rather than invented. The Waterfowl Hunt combines landscape, human activity and a humid atmosphere in a scene where man remains subject to natural expanse.
