About the Item
Large summer landscape by the Swedish artist Alfred Thörne (1850–1916). A footpath leads toward sunlit meadows and trees along the edge of the canal/lake; in the distance a farmstead is just visible behind some trees. Signed “A. Thörne,” oil on canvas. Verso inscribed “Julidag” (Day in July) and “Motiv vid Sörkvarn, Strömsholms kanal” (Motif from Sörkvarn, Strömsholm Canal).
Alfred Thörne was born in 1850 in Östergötland, and died in Stockholm in 1916. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Kungliga Konstakademien) from 1874 to 1880 under Per Daniel Holm, receiving the Academy’s Royal Medal in 1880 and becoming an agré (associate) in 1881. In 1884 he was awarded a travel scholarship and undertook study journeys in Germany, France, Italy, and Belgium (including time in Düsseldorf and Munich) before returning to Sweden in 1886. He supported himself at times as a drawing teacher. His favored motifs were Swedish landscapes—especially Mälardalen, Dalarna, and Bergslagen—and he also painted portraits and genre scenes.
Thörne’s travel stipend (1884–86) exposed him to Central European painting—particularly in Düsseldorf and Munich—while his Swedish landscapes frequently depict lake districts, mill towns, and waterways tied to the Bergslagen iron region, aligning with the present canvas’ “day in July” motif.
