Introducing "Scandinavian Winter Landscape, 1907" a mesmerizing painting by the artist Arthur Percy Carlsson, later known as Arthur C:son Percy (1886-1976). Born in Vickleby, Öland, Percy's artistic journey was one defined by unwavering determination and exceptional talent. This landscape painting presents a winter landscape, likely set during the early spring season. The canvas portrays a vast, snow-filled meadow, blanketed in pristine white. Above, the sky comes alive in a captivating pointillist style, with hues of blue, turquoise, and yellow forming delicate, scattered dots, while small clouds grace the horizon. The scene unfolds with an enchanting backdrop of a distant forest, its trees adorned with a touch of winter's charm. Between the enchanting forest and the expansive meadow, a few humble houses...

This painting by Ture Ander, created in 1917, depicts a serene landscape from Värmland, Sweden. At the center of the composition is a large tree, likely a deciduous species, as suggested by the hints of autumn seen in both the tree and the meadow below it. The short brushstrokes used to depict the leaves and grass evoke a sense of movement and texture, typical of the early 20th-century artistic style. Another beautiful detail is the bluish-tinted forested mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Ture Ander played a significant role in the Racken group (Rackstadkolonin), an important artistic collective in Sweden at the time. Ander was born on September 17 in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice painter in Stockholm, attending evening classes at the Technical School (now known as Konstfack) while working during the day. He earned his journeyman’s certificate in 1902, and the following year, he graduated from the Technical School with the highest honors in painting. In 1905, he was accepted into the Konstnärsförbundets skola (School of the Artists' Association), where he studied alongside notable artists like Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...

Dick Beer (b. London 1893 - d. Stockholm 1938) Folkliv på Korsika, I (Popular Dance at Corsica, I) oil on canvas signed Dick Beer c. 1924 canvas dimensions 88 x 100 cm Exhibited: The Royal Academy Stockholm 1973; Millesgården – Dick Beer – Impressionist & Kubist, 2012 Dick Beer was born in 1893 in London as Richard Beer, the youngest of five brothers. His father, John Beer (1853-1906), was a watercolourist who was born in Stockholm and left Sweden at the age of 17. John Beer instructed his sons in drawing and painting, among other things. A number of sketchbooks bear testimony to the boys’ talent. Dick Beer’s parents died in 1906 and 1907. Barely 15 years old, Beer arrived in Sweden as an orphan. First he lived with relatives and finally he ended up at Reverend Laurell in Västergötland. Dick Beer began his artistic studies at the Althin School of Painting in Stockholm in 1908 and continued at the Royal Academy of Arts in the autumn of 1910, but in September 1912 he broke off his studies and travelled to Paris. He rented a studio and enrolled at the Colarossi and Grande Chaumière academies. In the summer of 1913, Dick Beer travelled to Pont-Aven in Bretagne in order to paint. In September the same year, he held his first solo exhibition in Stockholm which he gave the French title Exposition des tableaux de Bretagne et autour de Paris. The exhibition proved a success. Many of the paintings were executed in a light palette in a style inspired by the impressionists. In 1914, Dick Beer undertook an extensive study trip to Italy, Tunis, Morocco and Spain, which resulted in canvases overflowing with colours and light. When the French army mobilised, he volunteered and was enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. In 1915 Dick Beer sustained severe head injuries in a grenade attack, which resulted in deafness and a nervous condition that would plague him for the rest of his life. Two of his brothers died the following year, fighting for the English army. Dick Beer was hospitalised and convalesced at Château de Rochefort. Here he started painting again, in an impressionist style, a painting dominated by blue and green hues. In 1918, Dick Beer married Ruth Öhrling, a dentist, and their son John was born later in the year. During this time, Beer began experimenting with cubist painting and created several large compositions, including the painting “The Arab Café”. In the years that followed, Dick Beer was based in Paris, where he often moved house. He was instructed by André Lhote, who encouraged his students to work freely in the studio and provided them with individual critique. Beer often travelled to Bretagne or Provence. His artist friends came from all over Europe and included Amedeo Modigliani. Dick Beer exhibited fairly regularly in Paris between 1919 and 1934 and made a name for himself in French artist circles. In the summers, Ruth regularly rented a house in the countryside, often at Lake Mälaren. She kept a large house with many models and friends and there was a lot of painting and discussions. In 1933, the couple divorced but Ruth still loved Dick...

Pluie a Venice is painted in Hambourg's preferred palette of muted blue-green, grey, and gold with splashes of ruby red, deep blue, and emerald green. The soft colors work well for beach scenes and rainy days such as the ones portrayed in this painting. The impressionistic scene shows multiple pedestrians strolling down the boardwalk, shielding themselves from the rain with colorful umbrellas that provide pops of color and balance the overcast sky. The background contains a three-masted ship and Piazza San Marco's famous bell tower and Basilica. Hambourg uses the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to portray ships, seagulls, buildings and people as well as reflections on the glistening sidewalk. The brushstrokes in the sky have an interesting texture that is controlled yet carefree and there is heavy impasto throughout. His portrayal is both realistic and romanticized. Hambourg was clearly influenced by the great Impressionist artists of earlier generations, perhaps none more than the one with a direct connection to his family. Hambourg's wife, Nicole Rachet, was born into a family with a large collection of works by Impressionist master Eugene Boudin. Rachet's grandfather was a contemporary and friend of Boudin's, and a collector of his work. In their later years, Hambourg and Rachet donated over 300 canvases by Boudin and other artists to the Eugene Boudin Museum in Honfleur, France. It was such a large and important gift that the collection bears...

Albert Malet (French, 1912-1986) Hand signed lower left. Verso inscribed with the title and artist name. Dimensions: 30 X 26 X 1 in. Work Size: 24 x 20 in. Oil on board landscape painting depicting an Impressionist rural scene with a fisherman beside a gently flowing stream bordered by trees. Rendered with soft atmospheric brushwork and naturalistic coloration characteristic of the artists landscape compositions. Albert Malet French Impressionist Painter and Leader of L'École de Rouen Albert Malet (1912–1986) was a French painter of landscapes, marines, and coastal views, celebrated as one of the leading figures of L'École de Rouen (the School of Rouen), a regional Post-Impressionist movement rooted in the light-filled tradition of Norman landscape painting. Born in Bosc-le-Hard, near Rouen, Malet was deeply influenced by the work of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, but his decisive artistic inspiration came from his teacher, the celebrated Rouen painter Robert Antoine Pinchon — himself a student of the Impressionist Albert Lebourg. Malet and Pinchon developed a close friendship that endured until Pinchon's death, at which point Malet succeeded him as head of L'École de Rouen. Circle of Rouennais Painters As a central figure of the School of Rouen, Malet painted regularly alongside its other leading artists, including Narcisse Guilbert, Marcel Couchaux, Pierre Le Trividic, Narcisse Hénocque, Gaston Sébire, and Maurice Louvrier, continuing the school's dedication to atmospheric, light-driven depictions of the Normandy countryside and the Seine. His work also attracted admiration from contemporary poets, including Philippe Tournaire, Pierre Laurent, Roger Vaccaro, and Olivier Costa de Beauregard. Malet was, in turn, an influential teacher himself; his pupil Isabelle de Ganay would go on to become the modern head of L'École de Rouen, carrying the tradition Malet had inherited from Pinchon into the present day. Exhibitions and Recognition Malet exhibited widely throughout his career, showing in Rouen, Paris, Germany, Algeria, and Japan, and participating in the Salon d'Automne. He was invited by the Salon de l'École Française to exhibit at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and won a gold medal at the Salon U.F.O.L.E.A. and a bronze medal at the exhibition for Artistes Français. He held memberships in the Comité des Peintres Normands and the Société des Artistes Rouennais, was vice president of the Société des Sciences, and was named a Knight of the Palmes Académiques. Malet's paintings were shown in major galleries around the world, and the President of France presented his work on several occasions as a diplomatic gift to visiting heads of state, including U.S. President Ronald Reagan. A Renaissance Sensibility Beyond painting, Malet held wide-ranging expertise as a meteorologist, botanist, and amateur astronomer, and was knowledgeable in precious metals and prehistoric fossils — interests that informed his close, naturalist's attentiveness to light, atmosphere, and landscape. Despite his considerable achievements, Malet remained known for his modesty, consistently encouraging his students and crediting the strengths of fellow artists. A major retrospective of his work was held at the Hôtel de Bourgtheroulde in Rouen in 2006.
