Philip Wilson Steer was born at Birkenhead on December 28th, 1860. He was the son of Philip Steer, a painter of portraits and a teacher of painting. The Steer family moved to Apsley House, Whitchurch, Monmouth, when Wilson Steer was three years old and he lived there for 17 years attending the Hereford Cathedral School and, when he was about 18, he was studying drawing and painting under John Kemp at the school of art at Gloucester. He failed to enter the Academy Schools and went to Paris in 1882, studying first at Julian’s under Bougurean and later, in 1883, at the Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. He exhibited two works at the academy: Fantaisie, the head of an Italian girl and Discovery, a painting of a woman with a mask, which the artist later destroyed. The grafting of French Impressionism on English stock has, perhaps, been Steer’s chief contribution to art in paintings from Wilson, Gainsborough, Turner and Constable and has been worthily continued to our days. It is interesting that the real impetus towards this only came to him later than his residences in Paris in 1882–83, through the exhibition at Dowdeswell of the works of Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. As a result of the French training of British artists, Scottish and English, in 1886 the New English Art Club, of which Steer had been for more than 30 years a cornerstone, was inaugurated, Steer contributing one oil painting, Andante.

Nordic Winter Landscape, Oil on Canvas, Signed, Early 20th Century
Located in Stockholm, Stockholm
Nordic winter landscape with low growing pines and spruces rising from softly undulating snow covered ground and rocks. In the distance, dark forests and snow clad mountains emerge along the horizon beneath a pale blue sky. Executed with expressive brushwork and a restrained yet luminous palette, the painting captures the stillness and clarity of the Scandinavian winter. Oil on canvas mounted on board, signed John Öhwall. John Öhwall (1883–1957) was a Swedish painter best known for his realistic and atmospheric depictions of the Nordic landscape, particularly scenes from Bohuslän and Skåne. His art is characterized by vigorous brushwork, restrained yet expressive coloration, and a strong sensitivity to seasonal light and the quiet monumentality of the Scandinavian countryside. Öhwall was born in Skåne, and initially trained as a decorative painter before turning to fine art. In 1903 he began his artistic studies under the influential Swedish painter Carl Wilhelmson in Gothenburg, whose teaching had a lasting impact on his artistic development. Between 1908 and 1914, Öhwall undertook extensive walking journeys through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy while pursuing independent artistic studies. During this period he also studied for an extended time at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and at Chrakovsky’s painting school in Rome. During the war years, from 1914 to 1917, he periodically continued his studies at Wilhelmson’s painting school in Stockholm. In the early 1920s he permanently settled on the Swedish west coast, a region that would provide inspiration for many of his most important landscape paintings. Öhwall made his debut as an exhibitor at Gummesons Konsthall during the 1910s, followed by solo exhibitions in Gothenburg, Oslo, and Norrköping. Together with Tor Otto Fredlin...
