Sunrise over the Fields by Swedish Artist Alfred Bergström, 1902, Oil on Canvas

1902

About the Item

Alfred Bergström (1869 - 1930) was a prominent Swedish artist and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. He honed his artistic skills through studies both in Sweden and France, including the Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, where he earned a prestigious Royal Medal. Bergström achieved recognition primarily for his exceptional talent in capturing landscapes. In fact, he served as a landscape painting instructor at the Art Academy in Stockholm from 1898 to 1901. Just one year later, he created this beautiful landscape titled "Sunrise over the Fields." It showcases his impressive ability to depict sunrises with warm and vibrant colors, accompanied by a remarkable three-dimensionality in the composition. This atmospheric quality became his distinguishing feature within his landscape works. Deeply influenced by the French Impressionist movement, Bergström incorporated elements of this artistic style into his own creations. In "Sunrise over the Fields," we can discern his inspired approach derived from the movement. The painting presents a foreground of a harvest field, while a serene lake reflects the early morning sky, brilliantly capturing the essence of a sunrise. Although the exact location where this artwork was painted remains elusive, it is most likely situated in the countryside close to Stockholm. Notably, the Nationalmuseum Stockholm has a similar painting titled "Sommarkväll" (Summer Evening) from the same year, 1902. oil on canvas signed and dated Alfr Bergström -02 canvas dimensions 20.47 x 26.37 inches (52 x 67 cm) frame 24.60 x 30.70 inches (62.5 x 78 cm) Provenance: A Swedish private collection.

  • Impressionistic Summer Landscape with Road Painted 1889
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Carl Johansson's "Summer Landscape with Road" is an exquisite landscape that encapsulates the serene beauty of the Swedish countryside. Painted in 1889, the same year Johansson showcased his work at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, one can't help but wonder if this very painting was among those displayed at the fair. "Summer Landscape with Road" offers a glimpse into the idyllic Swedish countryside through its masterful depiction. The scene is bathed in the distinctive light of the sun positioned at 30 degrees north-northwest, a unique aspect of Johansson's artworks. The viewer's eye is drawn along a winding dirt road that meanders through a tranquil pastoral landscape. Birch trees, with their white bark and tender green leaves, stand tall and sway gently, marking the passage toward a distant homestead nestled beside a calm lake. The rustic wooden fences and the clear sky, dotted with soft, billowing clouds, evoke a sense of peaceful solitude. Johansson's meticulous attention to detail and colour is evident in every brushstroke, from the lush greenery to the soft, earthy path leading to the horizon. The artist's signature use of light not only highlights the natural beauty of the North but also enhances the sense of depth and realism in the painting. Johansson's early works, such as this one, are exceedingly rare, making "Summer Landscape with Road" not only a visual delight but also a collector's gem. The painting's magnificent gold frame enhances the bright, vivid colours of the small-format artwork, creating an impactful presence. Carl Johansson's blue impressionistic depictions of Northern Sweden earned him the nickname "Ultramarine Johansson", and his paintings are celebrated in prestigious collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, and the municipality of Hudiksvall. oil on canvas signed and dated Carl Johansson . 89 . unframed 27 x 39 cm framed 41,5 x 53 cm Provenance: The previous owner bought it in 1988 at Åmells Stockholm...
