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.

- Impressionistic Summer Landscape with Road Painted 1889Located in Stockholm, SECarl 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...Category
