About the Item
Alfred Wahlberg was a distinguished Swedish landscape painter whose career spanned Germany, France, and Sweden. During his early years, he resided in Düsseldorf, where he was influenced by his mentor, the Norwegian artist Hans Frederik Gude. Wahlberg's artistic journey took a significant turn when he relocated to Paris in 1861, where he encountered the burgeoning French Impressionism movement. This exposure prompted him to shift from the Düsseldorf style to a contemporary French painting approach.
Wahlberg achieved notable recognition, securing medals at the Paris Salon in 1870 and 1872, as well as a top honor at the 1878 World's Fair in Paris. Among his renowned works is "Fiskläge vid bohuslänska kusten, 1869", which was later acquired by the Swedish monarch, King Charles XV.
The painting presented here is also believed to originate from Sweden's western coastline, possibly from the areas of Fiskebäckskil or Fjällbacka. It is characterized by its vivid, spontaneous brushwork and the use of luminous colors. This piece showcases Wahlberg's exceptional ability to depict a summer day along a rocky shore, complete with a cloud-strewn sky and a multifaceted water scene, featuring a windmill. It stands as a testament to Alfred Wahlberg's mastery in landscape painting.

- Impressionistic Summer Landscape with Road Painted 1889Located in Stockholm, SECarl Johansson's "Summer Landscape with Road" is an exquisite landscape that encapsulates the serene beauty of the Swedish countryside. Painted in 1889, the same year Johansson showcased his work at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, one can't help but wonder if this very painting was among those displayed at the fair. "Summer Landscape with Road" offers a glimpse into the idyllic Swedish countryside through its masterful depiction. The scene is bathed in the distinctive light of the sun positioned at 30 degrees north-northwest, a unique aspect of Johansson's artworks. The viewer's eye is drawn along a winding dirt road that meanders through a tranquil pastoral landscape. Birch trees, with their white bark and tender green leaves, stand tall and sway gently, marking the passage toward a distant homestead nestled beside a calm lake. The rustic wooden fences and the clear sky, dotted with soft, billowing clouds, evoke a sense of peaceful solitude. Johansson's meticulous attention to detail and colour is evident in every brushstroke, from the lush greenery to the soft, earthy path leading to the horizon. The artist's signature use of light not only highlights the natural beauty of the North but also enhances the sense of depth and realism in the painting. Johansson's early works, such as this one, are exceedingly rare, making "Summer Landscape with Road" not only a visual delight but also a collector's gem. The painting's magnificent gold frame enhances the bright, vivid colours of the small-format artwork, creating an impactful presence. Carl Johansson's blue impressionistic depictions of Northern Sweden earned him the nickname "Ultramarine Johansson", and his paintings are celebrated in prestigious collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, and the municipality of Hudiksvall. oil on canvas signed and dated Carl Johansson . 89 . unframed 27 x 39 cm framed 41,5 x 53 cm Provenance: The previous owner bought it in 1988 at Åmells Stockholm...Category
