Erik Abrahamsson
Lake Landscape at Dusk with a Rowboat, 1896

1896

About the Item

"Lake Landscape at Dusk with a Rowboat" is a captivating oil painting by the Swedish artist Erik Abrahamsson. Created in 1896, this work masterfully captures the tranquil beauty of a lakeside landscape bathed in the warm, fading light of dusk. The painting is dominated by a serene lake, its surface reflecting the fiery hues of the sunset sky. The transition from the soft orange and pink tones of the horizon to the deeper blues of the evening creates a stunning visual gradient. The sky is dotted with wispy clouds, tinged with the last rays of the sun. In the foreground, the shoreline is rugged and shadowed, providing a stark contrast to the illuminated water. A solitary rowboat glides gently across the calm lake, emphasizing the stillness and peace of the scene. Along the water’s edge, tall grasses sway subtly, adding a touch of movement to the otherwise tranquil setting. On the left, a cluster of dark pine trees rises against the sky, their silhouettes standing out sharply against the vivid backdrop. In the middle distance, small, cozy farmhouses can be seen, their red roofs just visible as twilight descends. This painting exemplifies Abrahamsson's skill in portraying natural light and his keen eye for capturing the serene beauty of the Swedish landscape. The Artist: Erik Abrahamsson (March 12, 1871 – January 15, 1907) was a Swedish painter and graphic artist. Born and died in Stockholm, Abrahamsson developed his craft through rigorous study and a natural talent for capturing the Nordic environment. He honed his skills at the prestigious Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts from 1890 to 1896 and further advanced his techniques in etching during 1895-1896 under the guidance of Axel Tallberg. In addition to his studies, Abrahamsson worked as an engraver for the Swedish Postal Service starting in 1891, a position that influenced his meticulous attention to detail. Though his life was tragically cut short at the age of 35, Abrahamsson was celebrated for his promising career as a graphic artist. His oeuvre, albeit limited due to his untimely death, includes finely executed plates featuring evocative landscapes. oil on canvas signed and dated E.Abrahamsson 1896 unframed 33 x 40 cm (12.99 x 15.75 inches) framed 44 x 51 cm (17.32 x 20.08 inches) Condition: This painting has been restored by a professional art conservator in 2024.

Twilight Landscape with Windmill and Church, 1891
Located in Stockholm, SE
"Twilight Landscape with Windmill and Church" is a captivating work by Swedish artist Albert Larsson, painted in 1891 when Larsson was 22 years old. The painting captures a landscape steeped in the quietude of dusk, with a sky ablaze in hues of red and orange, signalling the end of the day. The silhouettes of trees are rendered with astonishing detail against the twilight sky, showcasing Larsson's early mastery of light and shadow. Dominating the pastoral scene is a traditional windmill, its blades stilled against the sky, alongside the spire of a church that pierces the horizon. These structures, together with the meticulously painted trees, are testaments to the human presence within the natural world, suggesting a harmony between the two. A notable feature is the small water-filled furrow in the field, which catches the fading light of the sky, creating a pathway of reflection leading the eye through the composition. This detail highlights Larsson's skill in using light to draw attention to elements within his paintings. Albert Larsson, born on November 4, 1869, in Malmö and passing on August 31, 1952, in Lund, was an artist deeply influenced by his education in Copenhagen at the Art Academy and later at Peder Severin Krøyer...
