About the Item

In this atmospheric landscape at sunset, Fredrik Lagerström captures a fleeting twilight moment with vivid intensity. The sky is aglow with brilliant gold and amber hues, which are mirrored in a calm stretch of water on the left side of the composition. A narrow brook or stream winds through the middle of the scene, drawing the viewer’s gaze into the depth of the landscape. In the foreground, the stark silhouette of a leafless tree stands against the radiant sky, its dark form accentuating the glow of dusk. The overall tone is tranquil yet mysterious – the contrast between the luminous sky and the encroaching shadows creates a contemplative mood. Painted in 1893, when Lagerström was only nineteen years old, Evening already demonstrates the artist’s keen sensitivity to light, color, and the emotive atmosphere of nature at day’s end. The Artist Fredrik Lagerström (1874–1955) was a Swedish painter and draftsman active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He studied at the Konstnärsförbundets målarskola (Artists’ Association painting school) in Stockholm in 1896 and further honed his skills during a stay in Paris in 1911. The Artists’ Association school was a progressive alternative to the Royal Academy, and at the time Anders Zorn was among its instructors. Lagerström’s subjects were diverse – he painted portraits and interior genre scenes in addition to landscapes. He came of age in a generation of Swedish artists deeply interested in capturing mood and atmosphere, which is evident in this sunset scene. Throughout his career, Lagerström participated in numerous group exhibitions. He exhibited at major art and industry fairs in Sweden, including the 1906 exposition in Norrköping and the 1907 exhibition in Lund. His work also reached an international audience; for example, he is recorded as an exhibiting artist in early 20th-century Munich Secession shows. Interestingly, Fredrik Lagerström was one of twin brothers – his twin, Gustaf Lagerström (1874–1906), was also a painter. Fredrik outlived his brother and continued an active artistic career into the mid-20th century. oil on canvas unframed 68.5 × 49 cm (27 × 19.3 in) framed 79 × 60 cm (31.1 × 23.6 in) signed and dated 1893.

After Sunset by the Lake, 1889 by Swedish Artist Anton Genberg, 1889
Located in Stockholm, SE
Among the treasured classic arts we offer for sale is this stunning painting by the artist Anton Genberg. Born in 1862 to Pehr Jonsson and Anna Genberg, he left an indelible mark on the art world through his magnificent creations. Genberg's life was colored with a passion for exploration, study, and artistic expression. His artistic journey began with studies at the Tekniska skolan in Stockholm from 1882 to 1884, during which he also honed his skills at Oscar Törnås' private painting school. He furthered his education under the tutelage of Per Daniel Holm at the prestigious Konstakademien from 1884 to 1889. During these years, Genberg's exceptional talent was recognized with numerous scholarships and medals. Our painting, dated 1889, transports us to a captivating scene just some minutes after sunset. The canvas is imbued with a beautiful golden glow as the sun's last rays kiss the sky. Amidst a serene lake, the heavenly light reflects, painting the water's surface with mesmerizing shades of purple. In the distance, the landscape is dominated by a mountainous forest, while in the foreground, a stretch of land adorned with bushes creates a sense of depth. The impressionist style comes alive through Genberg's swift brushstrokes, reminiscent of the masterful techniques employed by Rembrandt, with branches delicately etched using the opposite end of the brush. Genberg's fame as a landscape artist was solidified through his enchanting depictions of snow-laden landscapes from Norrland, particularly the majestic "fjällen" (mountains). His art also captured the allure of Stockholm, Dalarna, and his birthplace in Jämtland. Notably, his masterpiece "Vinterafton" earned him a place of honor at the esteemed Nationalmuseum. Beyond his creative pursuits, Anton Genberg was actively involved in the art community. He served as the vice-chairman of the Svenska konstnärernas förening from 1913 to 1918 and held a position on the board of Sveriges allmänna konstförening from 1906 to 1939. His exceptional contributions were recognized when he was elected as a member of the Konstakademien in 1922. Throughout his life, Genberg resided in various places, leaving behind a trail of artistic inspiration. From 1916 to 1924, he lived in the enchanting Villa Wallbeck-Hansen, a masterpiece of national romanticism...
