Carl Johansson Impressionist Lake Motif From Sturehäll, Stockholm, 18921892
1892
About the Item
This painting called Sturehäll by Carl Johansson, crafted in 1892 when the artist was 29 years old, offers a captivating glimpse of Sturehäll, near Sturehov in Norsborg. This piece, stemming from a critical period just after Johansson's return from Grez-sur-Loing—a place renowned for inspiring Swedish artists in the late 19th century—showcases the tranquil yet dynamic essence of nature. At first glance, the scene conveys a serene lakeside adorned with reeds along the shore of Lake Mälaren, but a closer examination reveals a more dramatic natural depiction. Johansson's rapid and confident brushwork breathes life into the reeds, while his technique of incising with the reverse end of the brush adds a layer of drama and texture, enhancing the painting's depth through impasto.
This early work is particularly rare and fascinating due to the significant evolution of Johansson's style over his career. In his later years, Johansson sought to recollect his early pieces, indicative of their importance in his artistic journey. The painting not only reflects Johansson's mastery over landscape but also his innovative approach to capturing the essence of his subject matter.
Johansson, born in Härnösand, drew inspiration from various landscapes, including Northern Sweden, France, Tenerife, and Italy, painting them with the sun positioned at 30 degrees north-northwest. His artistic talent was nurtured under the guidance of Edvard Perséus and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Johansson's journey through art was marked by his association with the Opponents and his exploration of Impressionism, influenced by luminaries such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro.
This piece not only embodies Johansson's transition into a more impressionistic style but also serves as a testament to his enduring connection to the Swedish landscape, particularly the pastoral and historic setting of Sturehov. The manor, built in 1781 in the Gustavian style, and its surrounding parklands and agricultural landscapes, offer a window into Sweden's rich cultural heritage, echoed in Johansson's painting.

Carl Johansson began his art studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1882, where he had Edvard Perséus and Per Daniel Holm as teachers. He joined the Opponents in 1885, which meant that he was forced to leave the academy. Johansson made study trips to France in 1891–1892, Tenerife in 1894 and Italy in 1901 and 1914, also participated in the World's Fair in Paris in 1889, the anniversary exhibition in Buenos Aires in 1910 and San Francisco in 1915. Johansson started by painting small, neatly painted landscape paintings in a traditional style, but after he came into contact with the art of the French artists Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, his paintings became more impressionistic. He worked with clear and cold colours, with a factual analysis of the photography and where the vegetation appeared more markedly. In his older days, he used a noticeable blue tone in his paintings, giving him the nickname Ultramarin-Johansson. Since he took most of his motifs from Norrland, he also got the epithet Norrlandsmålaren (The Northern Painter).
