Carl Abraham Rothstén
King Gustav III´s Haga Pavilion, Oil on canvas, 19th Century.

mid 19th century

About the Item

A very nice and charming painting with a view of King Gustav III´s Haga pavilion by Carl Abraham Rothstén, (1826 - 1877). Oil on canvas, signed with monogram CAR. Probably painted in the third quarter of the 19th century. The painting is nicely detailed with an elegant couple with a sun umbrella and a man walking by the pavilion and in the lake, Brunnsviken, two men are fishing with rods and in the distance, a sailing boat is passing. Rothstén was a Swedish landscape painter and draftsman. Rothstén was a craft painter for many years before he switched to the career of an artist and trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. He devoted himself exclusively to landscape painting and took his motifs from Stockholm and its surroundings but also from Italy. Many of the works are coastal motifs or marine views. Rothstén is represented in the National Museum in Stockholm and others. Gustav III's Pavilion is a royal pavilion at the Haga Park, 2 km north of Stockholm. As a highlight in Swedish art history, the Pavilion is a fine example of the European neoclassicism of the late 18th century in Northern Europe. The pavilion was built in 1787 by the architect Olof Tempelman with detailed instructions from King Gustav III who was highly personally involved in the project, producing some basic designs himself. The designer Louis Masreliez– who became a trendsetter in the interior design of the period– was commissioned for the interiors. The pavilion was just one of many great plans and visions that Gustav III had for the Haga Park, many of which made it no further than the drawing board. Gustav III made use of the pavilion for a few years before his assassination. It was from the pavilion that Gustav III left for the fateful masquerade ball at the Opera on 16 March 1792. After the assassination of Gustav III, Duke Charles used the pavilion as his temporary residence. In the 1840s, King Oscar I commissioned a restoration of the building by architect George Theodor Chiewitz. Between 1937 and 1946, the Pavilion underwent a major restoration under palace architect Ragnar Hjort. During this time, thanks to the discovery of the original Masreliez designs for each room, it was possible to restore the interior to its original form.

Landscape with Horses and Farmers, Oil on Canvas, Painted 1898.
Located in Stockholm, SE
A fine landscape with horses resting by some trees and some farmers working the soil by Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (1850 - 1908). Oil on canvas. Signed with monogram "FH" and dated 1898. Henningsen was a Danish painter and draftsman. In 1870, he was admitted to C. V. Nielsen's drawing school and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, from which he received his graduation certificate in 1875. As early as 1874, he exhibited his first work, a portrait of actress Julie Sødring, and he was subsequently represented at almost all Spring Exhibitions. He exhibited at Charlottenborg between 1875-1905 and also did exhibitions in Stockholm, Berlin and Paris. He showed great skill in many different areas, e.g. portrait painting, animal painting, landscape painting, genre painting and illustrations. Immediately after the academy, he traveled with academy scholarships to Germany, later to France in 1877-1878, where he applied to Léon Bonnat's school in Paris, and from where in the spring of 1878 he made a trip to Spain together with P.S. Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...
