About the Item

Fritz Lindström (1874–1962) Mountain Landscape (Pyrenees), 1928 oil on panel unframed 15.5 × 24 cm (6.1 × 9.4 in) framed: 26 × 34 cm (10.2 × 13.4 in) signed on the reverse Frame by Stockholms Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri Exhibited This painting was likely included in Fritz Lindström’s solo exhibition held in Arvika during the Christmas season of 1931. There, he presented grand panoramas from Värmland alongside delicate landscapes from the Pyrenees – a series to which this work likely belongs. Three small paintings were sold at the exhibition. Essay: This atmospheric mountain landscape in oil captures the vastness of a sunlit range beneath a subtly clouded sky. Executed with confident brushwork and a delicate modulation of color, the scene conveys both grandeur and serenity within a compact format. Though undated, the painting can be confidently linked to Fritz Lindström’s 1928 journey to the Pyrenees. Recent visual comparisons have allowed us to match the terrain with known Pyrenean features, and the Swiss Alps — which the artist visited later in 1934 — can be ruled out. Fritz Lindström was a Swedish painter known for his luminous landscapes and perceptive portraits. He studied in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, and Paris at the turn of the century, before settling in Arvika in 1903. There he became a central figure in the Rackstad artists’ colony, a group of painters, sculptors, and craftsmen who sought inspiration in the nature and folk traditions of Värmland. The Rackstad group played a vital role in shaping Swedish national romanticism and helped define a distinctly Nordic visual identity in the early 20th century. His works are represented in major Swedish museums, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Värmlands Museum in Karlstad, and the Rackstad Museum in Arvika, which is dedicated to the artists of the Rackstad colony. The panel is presented in its original hand-carved and gilded frame, made by Stockholms Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri – a workshop known for its craftsmanship and fine finish.
