Circa 1935
About the Item
Signed lower right, 'Olga' for Her Imperial Highness, Olga Alexandrovna, Grand Duchess of Russia and painted circa 1935. Additionally inscribed in Danish, verso, 'Malet af Storfyrstinde Olga, Rusland der senere bosatte sig i Ballerup. Emma Davidsen' (Painted by Grand Duchess Olga of Russia who later settled in Ballerup. Emma Davidsen).
Framed dimensions: 14.5 x 1.25 x 17.5 inches.
Daughter of Emperor Alexander III and sister to Tsar Nicholas II, Olga Alexandrovna overcame both privilege and tragedy to become an accomplished artist who exhibited with success worldwide. The recipient of numerous prizes and awards, Olga donated much of the proceeds of her sales to charity, preferring to give her work as gifts to close friends and to members of her extended family. Her cousin, the late Queen Elizabeth II, began her day with nine of Olga's paintings hanging in the breakfast-room at Sandringham.
We are pleased to offer this finely-painted botanical landscape that shows a corner of the garden at Knudsminde Farm, Olga's country home from 1930-1948. Beside a lilac-shadowed path, a profusion of brightly-hued Flanders poppies, cornflowers, white foxglove and gladioli rise towards a clouded, blue sky. This vibrant work offers an eloquent insight into the genteel and unhurried life which became Olga's after the fall of the Russian Royal Family.

Holm' (American, 1903-1999) and painted circa 1960. This notable American Impressionist was a long-time member of the Rochester Art Club and served as president of the Genesee Group of Painters.

- After Sunset by the Lake, 1889 by Swedish Artist Anton Genberg, 1889Located in Stockholm, SEAmong the treasured classic arts we offer for sale is this stunning painting by the artist Anton Genberg. Born in 1862 to Pehr Jonsson and Anna Genberg, he left an indelible mark on the art world through his magnificent creations. Genberg's life was colored with a passion for exploration, study, and artistic expression. His artistic journey began with studies at the Tekniska skolan in Stockholm from 1882 to 1884, during which he also honed his skills at Oscar Törnås' private painting school. He furthered his education under the tutelage of Per Daniel Holm at the prestigious Konstakademien from 1884 to 1889. During these years, Genberg's exceptional talent was recognized with numerous scholarships and medals. Our painting, dated 1889, transports us to a captivating scene just some minutes after sunset. The canvas is imbued with a beautiful golden glow as the sun's last rays kiss the sky. Amidst a serene lake, the heavenly light reflects, painting the water's surface with mesmerizing shades of purple. In the distance, the landscape is dominated by a mountainous forest, while in the foreground, a stretch of land adorned with bushes creates a sense of depth. The impressionist style comes alive through Genberg's swift brushstrokes, reminiscent of the masterful techniques employed by Rembrandt, with branches delicately etched using the opposite end of the brush. Genberg's fame as a landscape artist was solidified through his enchanting depictions of snow-laden landscapes from Norrland, particularly the majestic "fjällen" (mountains). His art also captured the allure of Stockholm, Dalarna, and his birthplace in Jämtland. Notably, his masterpiece "Vinterafton" earned him a place of honor at the esteemed Nationalmuseum. Beyond his creative pursuits, Anton Genberg was actively involved in the art community. He served as the vice-chairman of the Svenska konstnärernas förening from 1913 to 1918 and held a position on the board of Sveriges allmänna konstförening from 1906 to 1939. His exceptional contributions were recognized when he was elected as a member of the Konstakademien in 1922. Throughout his life, Genberg resided in various places, leaving behind a trail of artistic inspiration. From 1916 to 1924, he lived in the enchanting Villa Wallbeck-Hansen, a masterpiece of national romanticism...Category
