About the Item

A magnificent view of Stockholm, featuring a steamboat gliding slowly passing by Skeppsbron, (the bridge) with Södermalm and Katarina Church illuminated in the soft light of dusk. This atmospheric oil painting on canvas, signed Gunnar Erikson and dated 1923, captures the city's charm and historical grandeur. The painting catches the special nordic light and style of the art nouveau period. Gunnar Erikson (1882–1961) was a Swedish artist about whom little is known, yet his work is represented in the collections of the Moderna Museet (Modern Museum of Art) in Stockholm. His paintings are exceptionally rare, particularly those from his early period, which is his finest. Despite the limited available information about his life and artistic career, his inclusion in the Moderna Museet suggests a recognition within the Swedish art scene.
