About the Item

This evocative 19th century oil painting on canvas portrays a tender moment as a fisherman returns with his catch to his two daughters on the tranquil, moonlit shores of a sea bay beside their fishing hut. Presumably painted by an unknown Scandinavian artist, this landscape - executed in the romantic nocturne style reminiscent of the works of Sebastian Pether (19th century British artist) - reflects a touching moment of family reunion. The artist masterfully employs a limited palette dominated by deep blue, grays, and the luminous glow of the moon reflected on the water. This evokes a sense of depth and atmosphere, filling the scene with romantic resonance and a light, airy quality. There's a sense of stillness in the air, broken only by the gentle lapping of water against the shore... The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow transforms a simple scene into a poetic and evocative visual narrative. Size app.: 29 × 43 cm (roughly 11.4 x 17 in), frame 40 × 54.2 cm (roughly 15.7 x 21.3 in). Overall in very good well-preserved condition with just minor wear, scratches, likely few retouches. Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 1.7 kg is going to measure 3 kg packed for shipment.

Ship Leaving the Bay at Sunrise French Seascape 18th century Rococo Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
Attributed Charles François Grenier de Lacroix or Charles - François Lacroix de Marseille (1700 - 1782) as signed lower left on the stone “Lacroix”. The scene of the departure of nobles on a ship, somewhere among the Mediterranean landscapes at sunrise. Lacroix's sense of color and attention to detail are particularly impressive: the sea is calm, the sun is rising and as a soft pink hue begins to emerge in the clouds, the morning haze has not yet cleared and the air is clear and clean, large ship...

Dutch Winter landscape with children playing on the ice by Per Wickenberg, 1839
Located in Stockholm, SE
Per Wickenberg was a Swedish artist active in the early 19th century. He was only 34 when he died of tuberculosis; thankfully for the art history - at that point, he had practised the art of painting for more than 20 years. After his art studies at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, he left Stockholm and travelled to Paris in 1837. In Paris, he finally received the well-deserved success for his landscapes; he won golden medals at the Salon de Paris both in 1838 for his painting "Nordiskt vinterlandskap" and in 1839 for a painting called "Vinterfiske". Per received a travel scholarship from Sweden and used that money for trips to Belgium and the Netherlands. Our painting is from that time, the time after his success in Paris, and in this magnificent painting, we see his talent in capturing the cold winter mood with meticulous care of details. Notice how nicely painted the children are on the ice, the sledge filled with hay to provide comfort and insulation against the cold. In the background, we can see an ice skater, a detail that gives the painting depth and three-dimensionality. This is a wonderful painting by a talented artist - who devoted almost his entire life to the art of painting. Artist: Per (Pehr) Wickenberg (1812-1846) Swedish Title: Dutch Winter landscape with children...
