"Gammelt Kvernhus" is a notable artwork by the celebrated Norwegian painter, August Cappelen (1827-1852). Created in 1852, this work represents the Romantic nationalistic movement prevalent in Norway during his time. Gammelt Kvernhus, meaning 'Old Mill House' in English, exhibits Cappelen's propensity for depicting decaying buildings interacting with their natural surroundings, symbolizing the transience of human endeavors.

The artwork provides an almost eerie, melancholic perspective with the dilapidating mill house nestled among lush woods and a gushing waterfall. Showcasing his adept skills in atmospheric landscape depiction, Cappelen speaks to the viewer through muted colors, detailed textures, and perspective mastery.

Like most of Cappelen's mature works, Gammelt Kvernhus is rooted in German artistic aesthetics and teachings, entwined with a sense of Norwegian identity. Although not as well known during his short life, Cappelen's artistic contributions, embodied in this painting, have been acknowledged posthumously for their undeniable impact on the Norwegian Romantic art movement.
