Elias Erdtman
Sunset Over the Field, Original Oil Painting by Swedish Artist Elias Erdtman

c. 1920

About the Item

This painting called "Sunset over the Field" by Elias Erdtman captures the serene beauty of lonely tree standing proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of a lush green meadow, bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun. Measuring just 29.5 x 18.5 cm, this work is a testament to Erdtman's skill in conveying the majestic tranquility of the natural landscape within a compact frame. Born on October 22, 1862, in Linköping and passing away on September 20, 1945, in Stockholm, Erdtman had a rich educational background in the arts. His journey began at the Technical School in Stockholm in 1881, followed by tutelage under Oscar Törnå in 1882–1883, and training in etching with Axel Tallberg in 1886. His studies took him abroad to Düsseldorf in 1884 and 1885, Belgium in 1884, and finally to Paris and Grez-sur-Loing in 1886. It was upon his return that Erdtman devoted himself entirely to landscape painting, drawing inspiration predominantly from the Swedish countryside. Erdtman's oeuvre includes a variety of scenes from Marks härad in Västergötland and the archipelago of Småland, showcasing his affinity for capturing the essence of Swedish rural life. In 1915, he completed a significant mural for the new secondary school in Linköping, now known as Katedralskolan, further cementing his legacy in the realm of Swedish art. His works are held in several prestigious institutions, including Kalmar Art Museum, Norrköping's Art Museum, and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. oil on canvas mounted on board signed E.E-n unframed 29.5 x 18.5 cm framed 40 x 29.5 cm Provenance: Gift to Kerstin Fries 1928

  • Amercan Merchant Ship in Philadelphia Harbor
    By Thomas Birch
    Located in Costa Mesa, CA
    Thomas Birch is considered one of the earliest American Marine painters of importance both in his own time and historically, forming the foundation of what would become a great American Maritime movement in the successive years of the 19th century. Born in England, Birch started as a landscape painter but after the War of 1812 he turned to marine subjects, taking inspiration from the best of both English and Dutch maritime traditions but refining these techniques into a very recognizable style all his own. The work featured here is a classic of Birch's later period, when he focused specifically on maritime subjects, mainly the busy waterways of Philadelphia Harbor. Here we see one of those scenes- a series of ships plying their trade, all framed by the city as it sits across the Delaware River, with the tall, white spire of what is either Independence Hall or Christ Church to the left of the main vessel. The details of the city are particularly good in this painting, with the wharf building to the left and the long line of buildings all along the shore. The American Merchant Bark at the center of this painting is rendered in excellent detail, from her house flag and pennant, to her rigging and sails, and down to her deck filled with the activity of crewmembers readying the ship to head out, her gilt billet...
