1893
About the Item
Allan Österlind, a Swedish artist who became a well known figure in French art circles, beautifully captures the essence of Andalusian culture in his 1893 watercolor painting, "Sevilla." Born to Per August Österlind and Johanna Petronella Skoog, Österlind embarked on his artistic journey at the Konstakademin in Stockholm and later honed his skills at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Originally training as a sculptor under Pierre-Jules Cavelier, Österlind transitioned to painting, a medium through which he found profound expression and acclaim.
Allan Österlind's "Sevilla" captures a compelling glimpse into traditional Spanish life, reflecting the artist's time in Spain in 1893. The watercolour features a group of four figures dressed in cultural attire, exuding a sense of daily life and communal interaction in Sevilla. A mature woman, adorned in a blue and white traditional dress, sits prominently in the foreground, her face marked by an expression of thoughtful engagement. Next to her stands a younger woman in a vibrant red shawl, playing a guitar, adding a musical element that suggests a typical leisure scene.
Two other figures, a young girl and a man in a traditional hat, complete the group, contributing to the narrative of a community scene. The man's attire and posture hint at a story of rural or market life, possibly after a day's work. The backdrop and the simple, yet expressive use of watercolor enhance the rustic and warm feel of the scene, suggesting the simplicity and the vibrancy of life in Sevilla during the late 19th century.
This painting not only showcases Österlind's adeptness with watercolor but also reflects his deep engagement with the places he visited. His ability to capture the essence of Andalusian culture, with its vivid colors and dynamic expressions, speaks to his broader artistic journeys.
Österlind's life was marked by a constant exploration of new environments and artistic techniques. After settling in France in 1877, he became an active participant in the Parisian art scene, frequently exhibiting at the Paris Salon and becoming associated with the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. His paintings, often inspired by his travels and the people he encountered, are celebrated for their sensitivity and vibrant portrayal of everyday life.

- Coach and horses at full speed, Paris, Boulogne-sur-SeineLocated in Stockholm, SEThis small watercolor painting by Anna Palm de Rosa, titled "Coach and horses at full speed, Boulogne-sur-Seine," is a vibrant and dynamic piece that captures a moment of speed and elegance from the past. The scene is set in what was known then as Boulogne-sur-Seine, now Boulogne-Billancourt, prior to its name change in 1926. The artwork is only like a postcard and depicts a horse-drawn carriage in full gallop, stirring up a cloud of dust along the gravel path. This sense of motion is further emphasized by one of the ladies on the carriage, who is seen clutching her hat, a detail that adds a personal touch to the scene and underscores the speed at which they are traveling. The artist's ability to capture such a fleeting moment, with the horses' hooves barely touching the ground and the dust cloud swirling around, is a testament to her skill and the liveliness of her compositions.

- Quiet Contemplation: Rural Serenity in Hagborg's WatercolorBy August HagborgLocated in Stockholm, SEThe artwork we present is a rare watercolor by the distinguished Swedish artist August Hagborg, painted in the later part of his career between 1910 and 1920. This watercolour is a departure from Hagborg's often-seen beach scenes with mussel pickers and instead offers a glimpse into a serene, pastoral moment. The scene is set against a timber house, with a man and a woman standing alongside, their gazes directed away from the viewer, which invites contemplation about the story behind their distant stares. Watercolors by Hagborg are rare, making this piece particularly special. Its fine details suggest a mastery of the medium, likely honed over the years of his extensive career. A written letter from Göteborgs Konstmuseum, dated to the 1940s, suggests a later date for this piece. August Hagborg, born on May 26, 1852, in Gothenburg and passed away on April 30, 1921, in Paris, was a renowned figure in the art world. His education at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1871 to 1874 placed him among peers who would rise to prominence, such as Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. Moving to Paris in the fall of 1875, Hagborg initially painted within the costume genre before finding his niche in coastal landscapes that garnered him accolades and recognition. Hagborg's success was punctuated by his 1879 painting...Category
