Considered an American Impressionist, Soren Emil Carlsen immigrated to the United States from Denmark in 1872. Although best known for his still lifes and even dubbed "The American Chardin," he branched out later in his career and painted luminous, poetic landscapes and seascapes in both New England and California. Wooded Landscape epitomizes Carlsen's mature style, highlighting feathery brushwork and a nuanced palette of soft greens, and captures one of his favorite subjects, the beech forests of New York and Connecticut.

Carlsen's works are featured in museums throughout the country, notably the Art Institute of Chicago; National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia; and San Diego Museum of Art.
