Axel LindmanEvening Sun, View of Visby, c. 1896c. 1896
c. 1896
About the Item
This evocative evening view of Visby by Axel Lindman captures Visby in the warm, fading light of the setting sun. Rendered with atmospheric sensitivity, the silhouette of Visby’s medieval skyline—its church towers and city walls—emerges softly through a hazy glow. The path in the foreground, leading the viewer's eye toward the distant city, invites a contemplative gaze into the past.
Lindman painted a nearly identical composition in daylight the same year, 1896. That version was sold at Stockholms Auktionsverk on December 4, 1995 (lot 107).
About the Artist
Axel Lindman was born in Öregrund in 1848 and studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts from 1872 to 1875, followed by several formative years in France and Italy. He became a member of the Academy in 1897 and exhibited with both the Opponenterna and the Konstnärsförbundet. Early in his career, Lindman was known for refined studies of rural France and for intimate coastal and garden scenes from Gotland. After settling in Stockholm, he turned his attention to cityscapes and the surrounding landscapes, developing a lyrical, light-infused style.
Lindman’s work is held in several major Swedish collections, including the Nationalmuseum, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Norrköping Art Museum, and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
About the Setting
Visby, the medieval town on the island of Gotland, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its remarkably preserved city wall and Gothic church ruins. Long a source of inspiration for Swedish artists, the town's historical ambiance and unique light conditions have drawn painters since the 19th century. Lindman's interpretation of Visby stands out for its mood of quiet solemnity and the poetic play of light and shadow.

Impressionistic Summer Landscape with Road Painted 1889
Located in Stockholm, SE
Carl Johansson's "Summer Landscape with Road" is an exquisite landscape that encapsulates the serene beauty of the Swedish countryside. Painted in 1889, the same year Johansson showcased his work at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, one can't help but wonder if this very painting was among those displayed at the fair.
"Summer Landscape with Road" offers a glimpse into the idyllic Swedish countryside through its masterful depiction. The scene is bathed in the distinctive light of the sun positioned at 30 degrees north-northwest, a unique aspect of Johansson's artworks. The viewer's eye is drawn along a winding dirt road that meanders through a tranquil pastoral landscape. Birch trees, with their white bark and tender green leaves, stand tall and sway gently, marking the passage toward a distant homestead nestled beside a calm lake. The rustic wooden fences and the clear sky, dotted with soft, billowing clouds, evoke a sense of peaceful solitude.
Johansson's meticulous attention to detail and colour is evident in every brushstroke, from the lush greenery to the soft, earthy path leading to the horizon. The artist's signature use of light not only highlights the natural beauty of the North but also enhances the sense of depth and realism in the painting.
Johansson's early works, such as this one, are exceedingly rare, making "Summer Landscape with Road" not only a visual delight but also a collector's gem. The painting's magnificent gold frame enhances the bright, vivid colours of the small-format artwork, creating an impactful presence.
Carl Johansson's blue impressionistic depictions of Northern Sweden earned him the nickname "Ultramarine Johansson", and his paintings are celebrated in prestigious collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, and the municipality of Hudiksvall.

Pawlowski was born in 1949 in Poland. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1979 he was awarded his "authorization and certification" by the Ministry of Arts and Culture in Warsaw. This recognition is the ultimate achievement for Polish artists. Immediately after reaching this stature, Jan was in demand for numerous individual and collective exhibitions.
From 1981 through part of 1988, he worked throughout Europe. During this time period he was invited to exhibit in Switzerland and in England where he had a one-man show. His travels brought him to the United States for a short vacation that has turned into his newfound home.
His work was particularly well received in Michigan where he had three one-man shows, two of which were in Grosse Pointe and Harbor Springs...
