About the Item
This exquisite painting, "Courtyard With Elegantly Dressed Couple" by the Swedish artist Carl Johansson, is a vibrant illustration of life at the turn of the 20th century. Dating back to around 1905, the artwork features a gravel pathway leading to two charming old houses bathed in the embrace of abundant greenery. The scene is completed by an elegantly dressed couple standing outside the house, suggesting they may be on their way to a sophisticated gathering.
Carl Johansson, born in Härnösand, was a true son of Norrland from where he drew much of his artistic inspiration. He also captured landscapes from France, Tenerife, and Italy.
Johansson's artistic prowess was nurtured early on by his drawing teacher Conny Burman and further developed under the tutelage of Edvard Perséus. His formal art education commenced at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1882, but he later joined the Opponents in 1885, which led to his departure from the Academy.
His travels to France, Teneriffa, and Italy influenced his work, leading him to participate in prestigious events such as the World's Fair in Paris and exhibitions in Buenos Aires and San Francisco. Johansson held his first solo exhibition in 1933 and continued to showcase his work throughout his life.
Johansson's painting style evolved from meticulously detailed landscapes to a more impressionistic approach after encountering the works of French artists like Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. This change introduced a new dimension to his work, marked by clearer and cooler colors, and a pronounced blue hue in his later years, earning him the nickname "Ultramarine Johansson."
Known as "The Norrland Painter," Johansson's work is esteemed in several prominent collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. His legacy as a painter is marked by a commitment to technical excellence and an analytical approach to capturing the essence of the Swedish landscape.

Carl Johansson began his art studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1882, where he had Edvard Perséus and Per Daniel Holm as teachers. He joined the Opponents in 1885, which meant that he was forced to leave the academy. Johansson made study trips to France in 1891–1892, Tenerife in 1894 and Italy in 1901 and 1914, also participated in the World's Fair in Paris in 1889, the anniversary exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1910 and San Francisco in 1915. Johansson started by painting small, neatly painted landscape paintings in a traditional style, but after he came into contact with the art of the French artists Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, his paintings became more impressionistic. He worked with clear and cold colours, with a factual analysis of the photography and where the vegetation appeared more markedly. In his older days, he used a noticeable blue tone in his paintings, giving him the nickname Ultramarin-Johansson. Since he took most of his motifs from Norrland, he also got the epithet Norrlandsmålaren (The Northern Painter).
