About the Item

Gustaf Fjaestad (Fjæstad) (1868-1948) Sweden Spring Flood 1930 oil on board signed and dated 30.4.30 unframed 22 x 36 cm framed 35 x 48.5 cm authenticated 1970 by his son Bo Fjæstad (on the back) Essay: "Spring Flood" from 1930 by Gustaf Fjæstad, is a compelling testament to his ability to capture the dynamic essence of nature. The artwork vividly illustrates the surging waters of a spring flood, with a sense of movement so intense that viewers can almost hear the rush of water. A remarkable feature of this piece is Fjæstad's innovative technique of etching details into the paint using the reverse end of his brush, adding texture and depth to the scene. Gustaf Fjæstad was not only a distinguished Swedish painter but also a notable member of the Rackstad colony, a community of artists based in Arvika, Värmland. His artistic journey began at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and was followed by studies at the Konstnärsförbundet school. Fjæstad's creative versatility saw him collaborate with artists like Bruno Liljefors and Carl Larsson, contributing to works displayed in prestigious locations, including the Biological Museum in Stockholm and the Stockholm National Museum.

  • 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...

    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors.
