Ecke Hedberg – Månglitter (c. 1905), moonlit Nordic masterpiece
Located in Stockholm, SE
Månglitter is a luminous nocturne that captures the tranquil radiance of moonlight dancing across a still expanse of water. In this atmospheric composition, a lone rowboat rests at the water’s edge beneath shadowy trees, while the full moon’s reflection stretches in a shimmering golden path across deep blue-black waves. Hedberg employs a restrained, nocturnal palette – rich indigo and velvety midnight tones contrasted with the silvery glow of moonlight – to evoke a mood of quiet contemplation and mystery. The scene is rendered with broad yet confident brushstrokes, subtly blending realism with a poetic, almost dreamlike quality. The result is a compelling harmony of light and shadow, conveying the hushed stämning(mood) of a Scandinavian night.
Painted around 1904–05, Månglitter exemplifies Hedberg’s mastery of stämningsmåleri (mood painting) within his landscape oeuvre. Hedberg – whose given name was Claes Erik Alexander but who went by “Ecke” – was a Swedish landscape painter celebrated for his ability to capture the elusive Nordic light. Educated at the Royal Academy in Stockholm, he later settled in rural Gästrikland (northern Sweden) in 1901, immersing himself in its natural scenery. He has even been called “Gästrikland’s artistic discoverer,” renowned for portraying the province’s lakes, forests, and skies with sensitivity. His talent for depicting nature’s transient light effects is on full display in Månglitter: with bold, expressive brushwork and keen attention to atmospheric detail, Hedberg here captures the Scandinavian Nordic light in the best possible manner. The painting’s serene, moonlit ambiance aligns with Hedberg’s broader fascination with seasonal moods – from autumn twilight scenes to spring dawns – yet Månglitter stands out as an especially refined and technically accomplished example in his body of work.
Månglitter made its debut at a notable 1905 exhibition in Stockholm. In March of that year, Hedberg participated in a joint show at Konstnärshuset (Artists’ House) alongside his contemporaries Wilhelm Smith and Pelle Swedlund...

Sitges Spain oil on canvas painting mediterranean art spanish seascape
By Rafael Durancamps
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Sitges
Artist: Rafael Durancamps i Folguera (1891–1979)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 38 x 61 cm (14.96 x 24.01 in)
Support: Canvas stretched over wooden stretcher
Framing: Unframed
Signature: Signed lower left: Durancamps
Period: 1960s (estimated based on style, technique, and materials)
Work Description
The painting Sitges depicts an evocative scene of the iconic Catalan coastal town. At the center stands the unmistakable silhouette of the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, surrounded by cascading white houses that descend toward the shore. A solitary fisherman in the foreground casts his rod from the sand, adding a human and melancholic dimension to the landscape.
The composition reflects Rafael Durancamps’s mastery in atmospheric construction: the balance between sky, architecture, and figure is achieved through loose yet controlled brushstrokes, and a sober palette dominated by earthy tones, ochres, blues, and greys. The scene conveys stillness, everyday life, and a sense of belonging to the landscape—recurring qualities in the artist’s work.
Artist Biography: Rafael Durancamps i Folguera (1891–1979)
Born in Sabadell, Rafael Durancamps was one of the leading Catalan figurative painters of the 20th century. Initially trained under Joan Vila Cinca and a friend of Joaquim Mir, he chose a personal path that distanced him from avant-garde movements. In 1926, he moved to Paris, where he founded La Fenêtre Ouverte gallery, bringing together artists such as Salvador Dalí, André Derain, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso.
After permanently returning to Barcelona in 1939, he exhibited regularly at Sala Parés and established a distinctive style rooted in lyrical light, intimate observation of everyday life, and a refined technique—particularly in still lifes, landscapes, and solitary figures.
His work is held in major collections, including the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Montserrat Museum, the Sabadell Art Museum, and the BBVA Collection.
Comparable Artists
Rafael Durancamps can be linked stylistically or spiritually to several major names in modern figurative art:
Joaquim Mir – for his lyrical treatment of the Catalan landscape and vibrant light
Santiago Rusiñol – for his poetic approach to architecture and the Mediterranean environment
Maurice Utrillo – in his sober and nostalgic depictions of towns and vernacular architecture
Edward Hopper – for the silent presence of solitary figures in open spaces

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.
