Gentle Repose at Österby: An 1824 Aquatint by Ulrik Thersner
Located in Langweer, NL
Gentle Repose at Österby: An 1824 Aquatint by Ulrik Thersner.
This aquatint by Ulrik Thersner, created in 1824, depicts the serene landscape of Österby in Sweden. The image is suffused with a gentle light that bathes the scene in a warm, inviting glow. It features two individuals on horseback in the foreground, suggesting a tranquil pace of life and leisurely exploration. Their presence adds a narrative element to the scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the journey the riders are undertaking.
The central focus of the aquatint is the stately building situated by the water, likely a manor house or a significant estate of the time, reflecting the architectural style of the early 19th century. The estate is flanked by expansive, lush greenery and tall trees, with a prominent pine tree in the foreground that anchors the composition. The detailed rendering of the foliage and the atmospheric perspective in the background create a sense of depth and spaciousness.
In Skåne, Thersner had drawn several mansions in 1816, and he decided to publish a counterpart to Erik Dahlbergh's Suecia antiqua et hodierna. He called his work Fordna och present Sverige, and in 1817 began its publication. Carl Fredrik Akrell engraved the images, which were executed in aquatint. Eventually, Wilhelm Maximilian Carpelan joined the publication. The Scania part was completed in 1823, Östergötland was started in 1820 and Uppland and Södermanland in 1824-25. Thersner himself wrote the text for the pictures.
After Thersner's death, his widow, with the help of friends, continued the publication, which had never received public support. Michael Gustaf Anckarsvärd took over the publication, in lithographic form, until 1843. The work could be continued, partly with the drawings left by Thersner as templates, partly by Anckarsvärd and others contributing new drawings. In general, Anckarsvärd's work is considered superior to Thersner's. In 1843, the work was taken over by Thersner's daughter, Thora Thersner (1818-1867). She continued publishing until her death. Thora Thersner lithographed her drawings herself, which are usually considered conscientious, if somewhat dry and weak. During her time, among other things, the part about Närke (1838-55) was continued and completed. At the time of Thora Thersner's death, the entire work comprised 91 booklets, containing 364 plates with text. The publication had cost each subscriber 682 kroner and 50 öre.
More about the maker:
Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...

Zeus (Jupiter) Engraving from Bertuch – Classical Mythology Print, 1805
Located in Langweer, NL
Zeus (Jupiter) Engraving from Bertuch’s 1805 Porte-Feuille des Enfants – Classical Mythology Print
This finely detailed engraving, published in 1805 as part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s Porte-Feuille des Enfants (Children's Portfolio), depicts Zeus, the king of the Greek gods (known as Jupiter in Roman mythology), in a pose that exudes authority and power. Seated on a grand throne with an eagle at his side, Zeus holds a scepter, signifying his dominion over the skies and his role as ruler of the gods.
The print is executed with exceptional precision, capturing the intricate details of Zeus’s muscular form, the folds of his drapery, and the noble posture of the eagle, a symbol of strength and divine power. Subtle hand-tinting adds depth and character to the artwork, enhancing its timeless appeal.
This piece is part of a renowned collection of early 19th-century engravings designed to introduce young readers to the rich world of mythology, art, and antiquity. Its historical and artistic significance makes it a standout addition to any collection of classical prints.
The engraving is rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the early 19th century. The subtle hand-colored tones enhance the divine aura of Zeus, making this print a timeless addition to any collection of classical antiquities or mythological art.
- Date of Publication: 1805
- Origin: Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s *Porte-Feuille des Enfants*
- Condition: The engraving is in good condition with minor age-related foxing and light discoloration typical of early 19th-century prints. Well-preserved overall.
This print is a perfect choice for collectors, historians, or anyone with an appreciation for classical mythology and 19th-century art.
Here are some recommendations for framing and presenting this engraving to enhance its historical and artistic appeal while ensuring proper preservation:
1. Frame Style
- Material: Choose a high-quality wooden or gilded frame. Options like mahogany, walnut, or an antique gold finish complement the classical theme.
- Design: Select a simple yet elegant frame with subtle decorative details, such as beading or fluted edges, to echo the neoclassical style without overshadowing the engraving.
2. Matting
- Color: Use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone, such as ivory, off-white, or pale cream, to draw attention to the artwork and prevent contact with the glass.
- Border Size: A slightly wider mat border (around 2–4 inches) creates balance and helps focus the viewer's attention on the engraving.
- Double Matting (Optional): For a refined look, consider an inner mat in a soft complementary color like light gray or pale gold to add depth.
3. Glass
- UV-Protective Glass: Opt for museum-grade UV-filtering glass or acrylic to safeguard the engraving from light exposure while reducing glare.
- Non-Glare Option: Non-reflective glass ensures optimal viewing, especially in brightly lit areas.
4. Backboard and Mounting
- Archival Backing: Use an acid-free backing board to protect the engraving from moisture and dust while providing structural support.
- Mounting Method: Secure the engraving with archival-quality corners or hinges to avoid adhesive contact with the artwork.
5. Presentation Placement
- Display the framed engraving in a stable environment with consistent temperature and low humidity to prevent damage. Avoid direct sunlight or exposure to harsh artificial light.
- Suitable spaces include libraries, studies, or galleries where the engraving complements other classical or antique items.
6. Labeling
- Add a small engraved brass plaque or label beneath the frame with details such as "Zeus (Jupiter) – Published in 1805 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch" to highlight its provenance and historical value.
7. Alternative Display
- If not framed traditionally, consider showcasing the engraving in a display case alongside other related prints or artifacts. Use museum-grade lighting to accentuate its details without causing harm.
