Carl GunneArchipelago Landscape From Sweden1945
1945
About the Item
This captivating artwork by Carl Gunne, dated July 10, 1945, portrays a serene archipelago landscape. The painting, executed with a delicate blend of pastel hues, captures the essence of a tranquil sunset over a body of water. The distant islands, rendered in dark blues and purples, gently rise against the horizon, creating a subtle contrast with the soft, glowing sky above. The sky itself is a symphony of colors—warm oranges, soft pinks, and cool blues—melding seamlessly to convey the fading light of day. The water below mirrors these hues, enhancing the painting’s calm and reflective mood.
Gunne’s use of broad, sweeping brushstrokes and his sensitive treatment of light and color illustrate his deep understanding of the landscape’s tranquility and his ability to evoke a sense of peace and stillness. This piece is a testament to his skill in capturing the delicate interplay between land, water, and sky, typical of the Swedish archipelago.
About the Artist
Carl Mikael Gunne (September 29, 1893 – May 3, 1979) was a distinguished Swedish painter and a prominent figure in the art world, both as an artist and as a curator at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Born in Sundsvall to a builder and a painter, Gunne’s artistic path was influenced by his family’s creative background.
He pursued his academic studies at Uppsala University and also served as an attaché at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, his passion for art soon led him to Nationalmuseum, where he became a dedicated curator. From 1932 to 1937, he managed the museum's collection of modern paintings and sculptures, playing a crucial role in promoting contemporary art.
Gunne was instrumental in organizing several notable exhibitions, including those in Paris in 1927 and 1929. His expertise and dedication extended to compiling a comprehensive catalog of Nationalmuseum's painting collection in 1936. His artistic oeuvre includes vibrant cityscapes of Uppsala and Stockholm, as well as distinguished portraits of prominent figures like King Gustaf V and Jussi Björling.
Carl Gunne’s legacy endures in several prestigious collections, including Nationalmuseum, Waldemarsudde, and museums in Helsinki, Antwerp, and Budapest. His contributions to art were recognized when he was made a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Letters, History, and Antiquities (KVHAA) in 1957. He passed away in 1979 and was laid to rest at Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.

Large Scale Winter Twilight Landscape Painting by Artist Mauritz Lindström
Located in Stockholm, SE
This stunning winter landscape by Mauritz Lindström captures the serene yet striking beauty of a snow-laden scene illuminated by the warm glow of twilight. The interplay between the soft, colorful hues of the evening sky and the intricate, frost-covered branches creates an almost three-dimensional effect, drawing the viewer into the composition. The detailed rendering of the snow and the trees evokes a profound sense of coldness, making the atmosphere almost palpable. Measuring an impressive 101 x 152 cm (39 3/4 x 59 7/8 in) with the frame, this large-scale work is a testament to Lindström's mastery of light and texture.
