Elias Erdtman
Sunset Over the Field, Original Oil Painting by Swedish Artist Elias Erdtman

c. 1920

About the Item

This painting called "Sunset over the Field" by Elias Erdtman captures the serene beauty of lonely tree standing proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of a lush green meadow, bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. Measuring just 29.5 x 18.5 cm, this work is a testament to Erdtman's skill in conveying the majestic tranquility of the natural landscape within a compact frame. Born on October 22, 1862, in Linköping and passing away on September 20, 1945, in Stockholm, Erdtman had a rich educational background in the arts. His journey began at the Technical School in Stockholm in 1881, followed by tutelage under Oscar Törnå in 1882–1883, and training in etching with Axel Tallberg in 1886. His studies took him abroad to Düsseldorf in 1884 and 1885, Belgium in 1884, and finally to Paris and Grez-sur-Loing in 1886. It was upon his return that Erdtman devoted himself entirely to landscape painting, drawing inspiration predominantly from the Swedish countryside. Erdtman's oeuvre includes a variety of scenes from Marks härad in Västergötland and the archipelago of Småland, showcasing his affinity for capturing the essence of Swedish rural life. In 1915, he completed a significant mural for the new secondary school in Linköping, now known as Katedralskolan, further cementing his legacy in the realm of Swedish art. His works are held in several prestigious institutions, including Kalmar Art Museum, Norrköping's Art Museum, and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. oil on canvas mounted on board signed E.E-n unframed 29.5 x 18.5 cm framed 40 x 29.5 cm Provenance: Gift to Kerstin Fries 1928

  • Twilight Serenity at Sea, Maritime Painting by Swedish Artist Per Linér, 1800s
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This exquisite painting by Per Linér, a distinguished Swedish artist born in the 19th century, eloquently captures the serene maritime essence of what appears to be the Helsingborg region. The canvas is brought to life with a selection of ships that grace the calm waters, suggesting the vibrant trade and seafaring culture of the era. At the heart of the composition lies an island, crowned with modest yet intriguing buildings that hint at human habitation amidst the vastness of nature. Linér's masterful use of a soft, rosy hue in the sky evokes a time of day when the sun's final embers paint the heavens, offering viewers a moment of reflective tranquility. The painting's historical significance is matched by its visual splendor, making it a valuable addition to any collection of classic Scandinavian landscapes. This artwork not only showcases Linér's academic training in Stockholm and Germany but also his deep connection to the landscapes around him, which he chronicled with dedication throughout his career. oil on board signed with monogram PL...

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist.
