Three Gilt-Wood Framed Etchings by Olle Hjortzberg (1872-1959)

About the Item

Embark on a journey through Swedish art history with this captivating collection of three prints by the esteemed artist Olle Hjortzberg (1872-1959), dating from 1919 and 1920. Each print uniquely captures the essence of a church, monument, and dockside scene with a barge and tugboat, reflecting Hjortzberg's versatile mastery of various subjects. Presented in period-appropriate glazed gilt-wood frames with ebonized sides, each frame measures a refined 17 1/2 by 20 by 3/4 inches. The etching plate sizes, measuring 7 1/2 by 10 inches, showcase the intricate details of Hjortzberg's artistry. Adding a personal touch, each print is titled, hand-signed, and dated by the artist in pencil. Born in Stockholm, Hjortzberg's artistic journey began with studies at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Influenced by the architect and illustrator Agi Lindegren early in his career, Hjortzberg delved into ornamental work. His notable contributions include the revival of wall art in Swedish churches, commissions for murals, and even the design of stained glass for churches in and around Stockholm. Beyond his contributions to sacred art, Hjortzberg's repertoire expanded to include floral still life paintings, etchings of landscapes, architecture, and portraits. His versatility extended to commercial illustrations, where he contributed to the Gustav V Bible of 1925, created a poster for the Stockholm Olympic Games of 1912, and designed commemorative stamps. Own a piece of Swedish art history with this exceptional collection of prints by Olle Hjortzberg. Perfect for art enthusiasts and collectors, these prints bring a touch of cultural richness and historical significance to any space.
