Carl Brandt
Carl Brandt, Swedish Mountain Landscape, "Nolbykullen and Ljungan"

Early 1900´s

About the Item

A Swedish mountain landscape with a river lake painted by Carl August Brandt (1871-1930). Oil on canvas painted in the early 1900´s. Signed C. Brandt. The view depicts Ljungan, a 399km long river, looking towards the mountain Nolbykullen and its surrounding mountainous landscape. Nolby is a place in Njurunda district (Njurunda parish) in Sundsvall municipality in Västernorrland county. It is located just south of the city of Sundsvall. Nolby is part of the Kvissle-Nolby-Prästbolet cultural environment of national interest. As an actual village, Nolby has existed since around 600 AD. Carl Brandt painted landscape motifs, mostly in pastels, but he also made oil paintings. In all his production he was consistently a romantic landscape painter. There were both summer and winter motifs with red cabins among tall slender pines by a lake, there were coastal motifs and there were mountain motifs. Often he showed sunsets with orange skies. Growing up Brandt had to take care of himself early on and as a teenager he was an apprentice painter. As an 18-year-old, he acquired a workshop at Vasatorget in Örebro and made a living there as a craft painter, but he had also started painting watercolors and pastels, which provided extra income. Over the years Brandt became a popular landscape painter and by 1901 he was married to a noble woman and lived in Filipstad. During his years in Filipstad he was also hired by several postcard publishers as a postcard artist. For a few years, the writing of postcards had increased enormously and during his life he created more than 200 motifs on postcards in various formats. When his wife died in 1910, Carl Brandt moved to Stockholm where he remarried and spent the latter part of his life until he died in 1930 of gallstone illness.

This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened.
