About the Item
This enchanting painting by Arvid Jacobsson (Jacobson)(1881–1966), executed in 1908, offers a captivating view of St. Eriksbron as seen from Stadshagen on Kungsholmen. Jacobsson has beautifully captured the essence of early 20th-century Stockholm, a period of significant urban development and transformation.
The focal point of this artwork is the old St. Eriksbron, a bridge that was inaugurated in 1906, featuring its distinctive arches. This bridge not only serves as a crucial link between Kungsholmen and Vasastaden but also marks the boundary between Barnhusviken and Karlbergssjön. The original bridge, a combination of truss and arch structures spanning a length of 226.8 meters, was pivotal in connecting the disjointed parts of Sankt Eriksgatan.
Stadshagen, the area from which this view is depicted, is situated in the northwest part of Kungsholmen and has a rich history dating back to the 1600s. Initially serving as grazing land for the city, the area evolved over centuries from agricultural fields to a hub for industrial activities, including a cotton mill and a sugar refinery in the 19th century. By the late 19th century, due to housing shortages, it became a makeshift home for the city's poor, transforming in the 20th century into a residential area with one of Stockholm's oldest allotment garden associations, Karlbergs-Bro koloniförening, established in 1909.
St. Eriksbron itself has undergone significant changes over the years. The original structure was replaced in the mid-1930s by a steel girder bridge, retaining only four of its original seven spans visible today. This transformation was part of Stockholm's urban development, accommodating the city's first two-story bridge in 1944 to include a lower level for the future subway. The bridge once carried the major European route E4, emphasizing its importance in Stockholm's infrastructure.
Jacobsson's painting not only captures a moment in Stockholm's urban development but also preserves the memory of a landscape on the brink of transformation. The juxtaposition of the natural beauty of Stadshagen with the industrial and architectural advancements embodied by St. Eriksbron offers a unique glimpse into Stockholm's past, making this artwork a significant piece of cultural heritage.
