About the Item

This remarkable painting by Swedish artist Per Wickenberg captures a serene Dutch winter scene at sunset, showcasing his mastery of atmospheric light and dramatic composition. Created in 1842, the same year Wickenberg became a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Arts and was awarded both the Order of Vasa and the Legion of Honor, this work reflects the artist's profound talent and international acclaim. The soft glow of the setting sun bathes the landscape in warm hues, contrasting with the cool, muted tones of winter. A rustic windmill stands tall, silhouetted against a fiery sky, while a tranquil river mirrors the fading light. The scene is animated by figures and natural details that evoke a sense of quiet rural life. Wickenberg’s ability to blend naturalism with a touch of romanticism is evident in this painting, which draws inspiration from his artistic journeys to Belgium and the Netherlands. His brief but illustrious career brought him significant recognition across Europe, including gold medals at the Paris Salon and representation in prestigious collections such as the Louvre and Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. This artwork serves as a testament to Wickenberg's enduring legacy, despite his untimely death at the age of 34. oil on relined canvas signed and dated P.

Dutch Winter landscape with children playing on the ice by Per Wickenberg, 1839
Located in Stockholm, SE
Per Wickenberg was a Swedish artist active in the early 19th century. He was only 34 when he died of tuberculosis; thankfully for the art history - at that point, he had practised the art of painting for more than 20 years. After his art studies at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, he left Stockholm and travelled to Paris in 1837. In Paris, he finally received the well-deserved success for his landscapes; he won golden medals at the Salon de Paris both in 1838 for his painting "Nordiskt vinterlandskap" and in 1839 for a painting called "Vinterfiske". Per received a travel scholarship from Sweden and used that money for trips to Belgium and the Netherlands. Our painting is from that time, the time after his success in Paris, and in this magnificent painting, we see his talent in capturing the cold winter mood with meticulous care of details. Notice how nicely painted the children are on the ice, the sledge filled with hay to provide comfort and insulation against the cold. In the background, we can see an ice skater, a detail that gives the painting depth and three-dimensionality. This is a wonderful painting by a talented artist - who devoted almost his entire life to the art of painting.

Large Scale Winter Twilight Landscape Painting by Artist Mauritz Lindström
Located in Stockholm, SE
This stunning winter landscape by Mauritz Lindström captures the serene yet striking beauty of a snow-laden scene illuminated by the warm glow of twilight. The interplay between the soft, colorful hues of the evening sky and the intricate, frost-covered branches creates an almost three-dimensional effect, drawing the viewer into the composition. The detailed rendering of the snow and the trees evokes a profound sense of coldness, making the atmosphere almost palpable. Measuring an impressive 101 x 152 cm (39 3/4 x 59 7/8 in) with the frame, this large-scale work is a testament to Lindström's mastery of light and texture. Arvid Mauritz Lindström...
