WILHELM EMANUEL BEHMWilhelm Behm, Fall Landscape, with Lake and Hilly Nature Surroundings
About the Item
A beautiful Swedish autumn landscape on a sunny day with a lake and a large birch tree in focus surrounded by a hilly landscape and vegetation painted by Wilhelm Emanuel Behm (1859-1934). It is signed "Wilh. Behm" and dated 1887.
The frame is original and in good condition. It might feel too heavy in the taste of today but can easily be changed.
Behm was a Swedish artist and studied at the Royal Fine Arts Academy in Stockholm 1879–1885 and in Paris 1889–1890. He joined the plein-air realism of the 1880s and shows in his early works a fine, blond value painting like in our painting. Later, Behm connects with the national romanticism of the 1890s, and his art takes on a stronger mood and a deeper color, preferably copper-red. He preferably depicted the middle Swedish landscape, especially in spring break and twilight light. Among his works are "Vinterdag" (winter day) at the National Museum and "Marsafton" (Mars evening) at the Gothenburg Art Museum. He is also represented in the National Museum in Stockholm with a number of paintings. Norrköping Art Museum also have his works.
He was described at his death as belonging to "the old-fashioned and solid school of landscape art" and a "perfect representative of realistic plein-air painting" who did not allow himself to be influenced by the many new trends in art during the latter part of his life. Nevertheless, in his membership of the Art Academy since 1910, he showed an idealistic faith in the development of art and interest in the young people whose art was so different from his - a testimony to the motto "Ars longa, vita brevis" ("Art is long, life is short") .
