About the Item

MOONRISE Size: 50 x 57 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A nostalgic and evocative mid-century modernist style composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden. Two shadowy figures stand quietly before a row of houses, their silhouettes sharply framed by the glow of a pale, full moon. The architectural forms are simplified into clean geometric shapes, giving the scene a sense of quiet solemnity and timelessness. Rendered in a muted palette of browns and warm taupe, the painting has a sepia effect and captures the hush of twilight with restraint. The sky, a seamless wash of greyish-brown, is interrupted only by the soft white orb of the moon, whose presence adds a haunting serenity to the composition. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with subtle tonal gradients lending depth and volume to the buildings and sky. Minimal yet expressive, the artist’s technique emphasises atmosphere over detail, creating a contemplative and emotionally resonant scene. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible.
