Elias Erdtman
The River Silverån in Hässleby, Sweden, Plein air

1883

About the Item

A fine small river landscape "Silverån" painted "en plein air" by Elias Erdtman, (1862-1945). Signed E. Erdtman and dated 1883. Oil on canvas mounted on board. This is a rare work from his early period when he was only 21 years old and still studying in Stockholm. He had not yet been abroad. The painting depicts the river Silverån in Hässleby, Småland, in the southeast of Sweden. Elias Henrik Erdtman was a Swedish artist and in his early years as a young man, he was traveling around Småland with the artist Johan Krouthén dreaming about becoming an artist and did some painting. Our painting, dated 1883, is from his last year of studies at the Technical School in Stockholm, which he had joined in 1881, and one can already see his talent. In 1884 he went to Düsseldorf and stayed there until 1885 with a shorter stay, in between, in Belgium. Then in 1886, he traveled to Paris and Grez-sur-Loing together with his artist friends Ernst Josephson and Carl Larsson. He participated in most of the Artists' Association exhibitions from 1898 and was on the board of the Artists' Association 1915–20. Erdtman received the Mention honorable award at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. He held a number of solo exhibitions in Stockholm and other Swedish citys during the the early 20th century. He worked mostly as a landscape painter and mainly found motifs for his paintings in the Swedish countryside. Erdtman is represented at, among others, Kalmar Art Museum, Norrköping Art Museum and the National Museum in Stockholm. Oil on canvas mounted on panel, 15 x 24 cm. Signed E. Erdtman and dated 1883. Verso with text HESSLEBY and 1883. Hässleby-Silverån is today a nature reserve which consists of an ancient long narrow and elongated coniferous forest area next to the river.

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...

He/Him/They
By Nicholas Berger
Located in Greenwich, CT
American, b. 1949 In his more than three decades as an artist, Nicholas Berger (b. 1949) has created an outstanding body of work that continues to evolve and excite viewers. Best known for his industrial, waterfront scenes of New York between 1930-1970, Berger effortlessly captures a period when the technology and landscape of the city was rapidly changing. Although he paints scenes of a bygone era, Berger draws inspiration from the waterfronts near his home in New York’s Hudson River Highlands as well as historical sources in museums. Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University. Earlier in his career, the artist painted representational landscapes rendered in watercolor, a medium in which he achieved great success, sharing a sellout two-person show in Tokyo with Andrew Wyeth. In the mid-2000s, Berger transitioned to his signature industrial scenes of the city, employing oil on panel in a painterly manner influenced by the Hudson River and Brandywine schools...
