Oscar Lycke
Sunset From the North of Sweden. Nordic Light Art

c.1920

About the Item

This exquisite landscape painting by Oscar Lycke, a notable artist from Sundsvall who flourished around the turn of the 20th century, captures the serene beauty of a lake at sunset. The scene is delicately composed with a boat (Swedish "eka") resting against the shore, enveloped by the tranquil embrace of nature. Lycke's work, deeply rooted in the traditions of national romanticism and realism, offers a vivid portrayal of the natural world, reflecting a profound connection to his Swedish heritage and the landscapes that inspired him. Born and raised in Sundsvall, Lycke was from the beginning convinced of his path as an artist, despite not receiving formal art education. Encouraged initially by his drawing teacher, his journey into the art world was not without its challenges. Yet, his determination saw him through years of hardship, eventually allowing him to exhibit his work across Sweden, as well as internationally in Copenhagen and New York. Lycke's travels in search of motifs took him to various locations, enriching his palette with the diverse beauty of the Swedish countryside. Oscar Lycke's career was marked by his ability to support himself and his family through his art, a testament to his talent and the appreciation he garnered during his lifetime. Despite his premature death at the age of 50, Lycke's legacy endures, celebrated for his contribution to Swedish landscape painting and his unique ability to capture the essence of the North. This painting, a testament to Lycke's artistic vision and skill, is not just a piece of art but a portal to the serene and majestic landscapes of Sweden, inviting viewers to a moment of tranquility and reflection.
