About the Item

"Twilight Landscape with Windmill and Church" is a captivating work by Swedish artist Albert Larsson, painted in 1891 when Larsson was 22 years old. The painting captures a landscape steeped in the quietude of dusk, with a sky ablaze in hues of red and orange, signalling the end of the day. The silhouettes of trees are rendered with astonishing detail against the twilight sky, showcasing Larsson's early mastery of light and shadow. Dominating the pastoral scene is a traditional windmill, its blades stilled against the sky, alongside the spire of a church that pierces the horizon. These structures, together with the meticulously painted trees, are testaments to the human presence within the natural world, suggesting a harmony between the two. A notable feature is the small water-filled furrow in the field, which catches the fading light of the sky, creating a pathway of reflection leading the eye through the composition. This detail highlights Larsson's skill in using light to draw attention to elements within his paintings. Albert Larsson, born on November 4, 1869, in Malmö and passing on August 31, 1952, in Lund, was an artist deeply influenced by his education in Copenhagen at the Art Academy and later at Peder Severin Krøyer's painting school. Settling in Malmö from 1900, Larsson co-founded the Skånska konstnärslaget (Scanian Artists’ Association) and Skånes konstförening (Scanian Art Association). His role as a commissioner for the association's exhibitions across the region was pivotal. Larsson's oeuvre is most cherished for its mood landscapes, which often capture the ethereal qualities of light over the Scandinavian terrain. His works, including "Moonlight over the Plain" at the Gothenburg Museum of Art and "A Farm at Dusk" at Malmö Art Museum, exhibit his enduring fascination with the poetic interplay of light and atmosphere. "Twilight Landscape with Windmill and Church" stands as an early indication of his profound ability to evoke mood and place through his art, making it a prized piece for collectors of Scandinavian landscapes. oil on canvas signed and dated a.L 91 unframed 31 x 48 cm (12.20 x 18.90 inches) framed 38 x 54 cm (14.96 x 21.26 inches ​) Provenance: A Swedish private collection.

An Autumn Evening Study, 1901 (En höstkvällstudie, 1901)
By Fritz Lindström
Located in Stockholm, SE
This landscape painting by Swedish artist Fritz Lindström captures the tranquility of the Stockholm archipelago. "An Autumn Evening Study, 1901" is a stunning portrayal of a rural scene at dusk. The painting's delicate pink and purple sky envelops the landscape in a soft glow, hinting at the transition from day to night. In the middle ground, a farmer with his horse can be seen plowing a field, adding a narrative element to this peaceful scene. This work is one of several paintings Lindström created during this period, following his time in France and prior to joining the Rackstad group in 1903. BIOGRAPHY Fritz Lindström started his artistic journey as an apprentice in decorative painting under Carl Grabow, where he met fellow artist Björn Ahlgrensson. He later studied at the Artists' Association School in Stockholm with Richard Bergh (1892–1894 and 1895–1896) and at Valand Art School in Gothenburg under Carl Larsson (1894–1895). His studies continued in Copenhagen and Paris from 1897 to 1899. In 1900, Lindström returned to Sweden, drawn to Värmland by his friend and brother-in-law Björn Ahlgrensson. From 1903 onwards, he became part of the Rackstad group—a community of artists who saw the countryside as an ideal setting for artistic and spiritual work. This belief resonated with Lindström, and he remained dedicated to this lifestyle for over fifty years, living and working by Lake Racken. Lindström's early artistic focus was on the challenging art of human studies, which piqued his interest. Despite financial struggles and difficulty selling his paintings, he gained recognition mainly for his portraits, known for their well-constructed composition and deep psychological insight. Portrait painting became crucial for his financial stability. Interest in his landscape paintings grew when the director of the National Museum happened upon his landscapes during an exhibition opening...
