About the Item

We are proud to present "Walpurgis Night Reflections," an enchanting painting by the German-Swedish artist Jonny Oppenheimer (1923-2005). This piece is a captivating representation of a serene night scene, showcasing Oppenheimer's mastery of color and mood. Born in Berlin, Germany, Jonny Oppenheimer was the son of merchant Sally Wilhelm Oppenheimer and Charlotte Salome Lewenberg. He initially studied painting under Hübner Lauenburg, developing a naivist style in his early works. Oppenheimer's life took a significant turn in 1939 when he fled to Sweden. There, he initially worked in forestry before returning to his artistic pursuits through self-study. "Walpurgis Night Reflections" is a testament to Oppenheimer's ability to evoke emotion through his art. The painting features a tranquil lakeside scene at night, with a dense, dark forest to the right. Dominated by shades of blue and black, the composition is both moody and mesmerizing. The dark woods are mirrored in the lake, creating a sense of depth and mystery. A significant element in this painting is the large bonfire at the lake's edge on the right side, symbolizing the traditional Walpurgis Night (Majbrasa). The fire's glow against the night sky and the smoke trail reaching upwards add a dynamic contrast to the otherwise cool color palette. This detail not only adds warmth to the scene but also signifies hope and renewal, themes often found in Oppenheimer's works. After his move to Sweden, Oppenheimer exhibited his art in various cities, including Halmstad, Falun, Jönköping, Linköping, as well as internationally in New York, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, and Berlin. His oeuvre includes still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, predominantly from southern Halland, rendered in oil. information: signed Oppenheimer unframed 50 x 73 cm framed 65 x 87 cm Provenance: A Swedish private collection
