Bernhard Oscarsson
Impressionistic View over Strandvägen, Stockholm

1933

About the Item

This painting by Bernhard Oscarsson (1894-1977) is a captivating visual narrative of Stockholm's serene beauty. Oscarsson, a student of Caleb Althin's painting school and the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, honed his craft extensively through his European travels in Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Germany. This particular piece is painted from Blasieholmen, behind the National Museum, with his gaze set towards Strandvägen. Oscarsson's canvas is a symphony of colors, with each brushstroke contributing to the overall harmony of the scene. The foreground is graced with the tranquil paths of Blasieholmen, lined with welcoming benches and a solitary lamp post standing as a silent sentinel. A solitary figure walks towards the bustling Strandvägen, perhaps lost in thought or simply enjoying the scenic view. The rich foliage on the left provides a stark contrast to the open skies, where soft clouds dance in the light of the setting sun. The painting's palette is reminiscent of the transitional phase between late impressionism and early modernism, capturing the ephemeral quality of light and the subtle nuances of urban life. It embodies a sense of peace and reflection amidst the daily hum of a growing city. Oscarsson's work is more than a mere depiction of a location; it is a portal to the soul of Stockholm, offering a timeless glimpse into the city's heart through the eyes of an artist who both loved and understood his subject deeply. oil on canvas signed and dated Oscarsson 1933 unframed 54 x 65 cm framed 70 x 80 cm

  • 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. oil on canvas signed and dated Carl Johansson . 89 . unframed 27 x 39 cm framed 41,5 x 53 cm Provenance: The previous owner bought it in 1988 at Åmells Stockholm...
