About the Item

Watercolor painting depicting a nocturnal scene of Venice, featuring a gondola gliding slowly through the water under a full moon, by Karl Bergquist. Signed and dated "K Bergquist Venezia 29." Karl Hjalmar Bergquist (1894–1972) was a Swedish painter known for his evocative landscapes and street scenes. Bergquist honed his artistic skills at several esteemed art schools in Stockholm, including those led by Althin, Wilhelmson, and Berggren. His pursuit of artistic excellence also took him to Paris for further studies. In 1920, he showcased a landscape painting at the Paris Salon, marking a significant milestone in his career. His first solo exhibition took place in the autumn of 1931 at Gummesons Konsthall, where he presented around 50 watercolors inspired by the Mediterranean regions. Bergquist's oeuvre predominantly features landscapes and street motifs from the Orient and Paris, capturing the essence of these locales with his distinctive style. This particular watercolor from 1929 exemplifies Bergquist's ability to convey the serene ambiance of Venice's nocturnal waterways.
