Hjalmar Falk
Skäckerfjällen Seen From Kolåsen, Mountain View, 19th century, Oil on canvas

Late 19th century.

About the Item

A Swedish mountain view by Hjalmar Falk, (1856-1938). Oil on canvas, signed H. Falk. Painted in situ. The view is taken from Kolåsen looking over the mountain group called Skäckerfjällen which is in Åre county. Painted during his younger years, probably in the 1880´s. Hjalmar Fredrik Falk was a Swedish artist and photographer. He painted landscapes, especially in watercolor. Falk studied at the Royal Academy of Liberal Arts in Stockholm 1878-1884 under the professor and artist Per Daniel Holm. During this time, he first worked mostly with oil paintings, but increasingly switched to watercolors. In the same year that he began his studies, Anders Zorn painted a portrait of him. He settled in Karlshamn in Blekinge in 1887 and became one of Blekinge's greatest painters. Hjalmar Falk always painted outdoors, also called "en plein air", and his paintings above all depicted landscapes and cities. He found most of the motifs in Karlshamn and around Blekinge, but also made trips to Denmark, France, Tyrol and Germany, among others. Often the trips were combined with successful exhibitions. He also made trips within Sweden and this painting is probably from one of his early trips in Sweden. Falk had many successful exhibitions. The first one he participated in was in Stockholm in 1892, and in 1893 he became a member of the Swedish Artists Association. He exhibited his paintings for many years at the art associations in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. He also had exhibitions in Copenhagen, Oslo, Hamburg, Schwerin, Dresden and Düsseldorf. The Grand Ducal Museum in Schwerin was one of his biggest clients. In 1889 he had an exhibition in Chicago. Several of Hjalmar Falk's paintings are preserved at the Royal Library in Stockholm, the Karlshamn museum and the Blekinge museum. Kolåsen, is a small village in Åre county. Today Åre has some of the best skiing in Sweden. Because of the beauty of the nature surrounding Kolåsen, Skäckerfjällen and the lake Äcklingen, it became a tourist attraction already in the late 19th century and a luxury hotel was built. Many prominent people and artists of the time came to stay at Kolåsen and even King Oscar II paid a visit. The hotel was demolished in the 1930´s.

  • Landscape with Horses and Farmers, Oil on Canvas, Painted 1898.
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A fine landscape with horses resting by some trees and some farmers working the soil by Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (1850 - 1908). Oil on canvas. Signed with monogram "FH" and dated 1898. Henningsen was a Danish painter and draftsman. In 1870, he was admitted to C. V. Nielsen's drawing school and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, from which he received his graduation certificate in 1875. As early as 1874, he exhibited his first work, a portrait of actress Julie Sødring, and he was subsequently represented at almost all Spring Exhibitions. He exhibited at Charlottenborg between 1875-1905 and also did exhibitions in Stockholm, Berlin and Paris. He showed great skill in many different areas, e.g. portrait painting, animal painting, landscape painting, genre painting and illustrations. Immediately after the academy, he traveled with academy scholarships to Germany, later to France in 1877-1878, where he applied to Léon Bonnat's school in Paris, and from where in the spring of 1878 he made a trip to Spain together with P.S. Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...

  • Goosander Birds On Ice Floes. Oil on Canvas 1918
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...
