Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918

Located in Stockholm, SE

This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere. Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...

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...

WILLIAM LEE HANKEY British 1869-1952 Oil Painting on canvas mounted on stretchers and framed in a traditional Impressionist style handmade frame. This painting has been in a private collection for around 30 years and was previously owned by the Fine Art Society.

On leaving School he became a designer, studying art in the evenings at Chester School of Art. In 1894 he first exhibited in London where his paintings and individual style attracted immediate attention.
