Twilight Serenity at Sea, Maritime Painting by Swedish Artist Per Linér, 1800s
Located in Stockholm, SE
This exquisite painting by Per Linér, a distinguished Swedish artist born in the 19th century, eloquently captures the serene maritime essence of what appears to be the Helsingborg region. The canvas is brought to life with a selection of ships that grace the calm waters, suggesting the vibrant trade and seafaring culture of the era. At the heart of the composition lies an island, crowned with modest yet intriguing buildings that hint at human habitation amidst the vastness of nature. Linér's masterful use of a soft, rosy hue in the sky evokes a time of day when the sun's final embers paint the heavens, offering viewers a moment of reflective tranquility. The painting's historical significance is matched by its visual splendor, making it a valuable addition to any collection of classic Scandinavian landscapes. This artwork not only showcases Linér's academic training in Stockholm and Germany but also his deep connection to the landscapes around him, which he chronicled with dedication throughout his career.

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
