Anshelm Schultzberg
Plein Air Masterpiece – Schultzberg's Kolbotten in Autumn, Nacka

1885

About the Item

This evocative autumnal scene, painted in 1885, coincided with Schultzberg’s breakthrough at the Royal Academy’s Spring Exhibition. At only 23 years old, he garnered the attention of prominent figures such as Ernst Josephson, Carl Larsson, and Richard Bergh, who were returning from Paris at the time. Though his works merited a royal medal, this honor eluded him due to his enrollment in the Academy’s lower division. However, the following year he was awarded the prestigious royal medal for his painting Forest Road in Autumn Atmosphere, created in Stubbsund in 1886. In the autumn of 1885, Schultzberg rented a small cottage in Stubbsund. A photograph from 1886 shows Schultzberg painting outdoors in this location, emphasizing his commitment to plein air painting regardless of canvas size. His works from Stubbsund introduced a fresh perspective to Swedish outdoor painting, placing the viewer directly into the landscape without the traditional division of foreground, middle ground, and background. The present painting, Autumn at Kolbotten, must have held great personal significance for Schultzberg; he never sold it, instead gifting it to his son. Kolbotten Lake, a shallow body of water between Erstavik and Saltsjö-Duvnäs in Nacka, has a rich history. Its name derives from an old charcoal-burning site known as Kåhlbotten, and historical maps highlight its connection to Viking-era waterways and later as the site of Kolbottens Wärdshus, a well-known 18th-century tavern. Anshelm Schultzberg’s innovative techniques and emotional connection to the landscapes he painted are evident in this piece, capturing the serene beauty of Swedish autumn with remarkable depth and intimacy.
