This atmospheric moonlit landscape from 1888 represents a mature and characteristic work by Amalia von Schwerin, a Swedish aristocrat and professional painter whose artistic career was closely connected to the Düsseldorf and Munich schools of nineteenth century landscape painting. Executed late in her career, the painting demonstrates her assured handling of nocturnal light, pastoral motif, and animal staffage, elements that recur throughout her oeuvre. The composition depicts a tranquil rural scene illuminated by moonlight. A calm body of water reflects the pale glow of the moon, which hangs high in a softly clouded night sky. On the left, a modest cottage is partially concealed by trees, its warmly lit window suggesting human presence and domestic shelter within the surrounding darkness. To the right, a solitary cow stands quietly in the shallow water, its reflection subtly merging with the rippling surface. In the distance, faintly lit buildings and tree silhouettes dissolve into the night, reinforcing the depth and stillness of the scene. Von Schwerin’s treatment of light is central to the painting’s expressive power. The cool silvery tones of the moonlight contrast gently with the warmer hues emanating from the cottage window, creating a balance between natural and human illumination. The reflections in the water are rendered with sensitivity and restraint, enhancing the sense of calm and quietude that permeates the scene. The landscape is not dramatic but contemplative, inviting prolonged viewing rather than immediate narrative engagement. Amalia von Schwerin received her early artistic education at various art schools in Düsseldorf, where her husband owned property, before continuing her studies under Friedrich Voltz in Munich. These environments exposed her to the dominant landscape traditions of the period, particularly the emphasis on tonal unity, careful observation of natural light, and the integration of animal figures within expansive settings. Her work reflects these influences while maintaining a personal sensitivity to mood and atmosphere. Although based for long periods in Germany, von Schwerin remained closely connected to the Swedish art world. She participated extensively in group exhibitions in Sweden during the 1860s and 1870s, including exhibitions at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, as well as shows organised by regional art associations across the country. She was also represented at the Paris World Exhibition in 1878. Her home in Düsseldorf became a social and artistic gathering place for younger Scandinavian artists, a role that reflects both her social position and her significance within the artistic community. Von Schwerin’s artistic production consists almost exclusively of landscape paintings with...

Margaret Maitland Howard was an accomplished and versatile English artist whose works spanned the early to mid-20th century. Known for her evocative and often mythologically inspired oil paintings, Howard’s work reflects a deep engagement with classical themes and her knowledge of nature, and the human form. She was also proficient working in watercolours and pastels and an accomplished sculptor. Margaret, who was always known as “Marjorie” was born in Friern, Barnet, London on 31 July 1898, the daughter of artist and civil servant Henry James Howard. She grew up at Sutton, Surrey, where she spent most of her life. She spent many years living and working from St. Katherine’s, Malgrave Road, Sutton, Surrey. She was educated privately, at the Byam Shaw and then attended the Vicat Cole School of Art, completing her studies at the Royal Academy Schools, where she won five silver medals and other awards. She was also the recipient of a British Institute scholarship and extension and won the 1926 prize for her portrait work at the National Welsh Eisteddfod in Swansea. She exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy, showing at least ten works of classical and biblical themes at Summer Exhibitions between 1923 and 1935. She was one of the early group of women who painted nudes, a practice which was considered somewhat risqué and vulgar in the early twentieth century. She also exhibited at other leading galleries and in the provinces and consistently pursued her art despite the challenges posed by the societal norms of the time. Howard had a significant professional career for a woman of her generation. Just after World War II she was appointed draughtsman to the Institute of Archaeology at London University where she worked from 1948 to 1960. This is now part of University College, London. Here, she worked as an illustrator and sculptor, creating models for Professor Frederick Zeuner to use in his lectures. She also illustrated one of his important books (Zeuner, F.E. Dating the Past, London: Methuen). She also created the bust of Gordon Childe, now in the Institute’s Library. After her retirement from the Institute of Archaeology she collaborated with Ian Wolfran Cornwall on his series of books about the prehistoric world. In 1956, whilst working for the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, she moved to Balawat and supervised the archaeological work at the site of an ancient Assyrian city in northern Mesopotamia. She subsequently prepared drawings of the Balawat Gates, which was significant and technical work. In addition to illustrating various books on ancient history and anthropology, Howard was also known as an illustrator of fictional books, producing an illustrated edition of the Fables of Aesop that was published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in 1926. She also illustrated Elizabeth Ward...

"Twilight Landscape with Windmill and Church" is a captivating work by Swedish artist Albert Larsson, painted in 1891 when Larsson was 22 years old. The painting captures a landscape steeped in the quietude of dusk, with a sky ablaze in hues of red and orange, signalling the end of the day. The silhouettes of trees are rendered with astonishing detail against the twilight sky, showcasing Larsson's early mastery of light and shadow. Dominating the pastoral scene is a traditional windmill, its blades stilled against the sky, alongside the spire of a church that pierces the horizon. These structures, together with the meticulously painted trees, are testaments to the human presence within the natural world, suggesting a harmony between the two. A notable feature is the small water-filled furrow in the field, which catches the fading light of the sky, creating a pathway of reflection leading the eye through the composition. This detail highlights Larsson's skill in using light to draw attention to elements within his paintings. Albert Larsson, born on November 4, 1869, in Malmö and passing on August 31, 1952, in Lund, was an artist deeply influenced by his education in Copenhagen at the Art Academy and later at Peder Severin Krøyer...
