Per Linér
Twilight Serenity at Sea, Maritime Painting by Swedish Artist Per Linér, 1800s

late 1800s

About the Item

This exquisite painting by Per Linér, a distinguished Swedish artist born in the 19th century, eloquently captures the serene maritime essence of what appears to be the Helsingborg region. The canvas is brought to life with a selection of ships that grace the calm waters, suggesting the vibrant trade and seafaring culture of the era. At the heart of the composition lies an island, crowned with modest yet intriguing buildings that hint at human habitation amidst the vastness of nature. Linér's masterful use of a soft, rosy hue in the sky evokes a time of day when the sun's final embers paint the heavens, offering viewers a moment of reflective tranquility. The painting's historical significance is matched by its visual splendor, making it a valuable addition to any collection of classic Scandinavian landscapes. This artwork not only showcases Linér's academic training in Stockholm and Germany but also his deep connection to the landscapes around him, which he chronicled with dedication throughout his career. oil on board signed with monogram PL unframed 16,5 x 31 cm framed 25,5 x 39,5 cm Provenance: A Swedish private collection

  • Motif From Långälven in Värmland, Sweden.
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This enchanting Swedish painting, dated circa 1890, is believed to depict the tranquil waters of Långälven in Värmland, a testament to Ohlson's prowess in capturing the essence of the Swedish countryside. The scene is a gentle narrative, where we witness a family moment frozen in time. Parents stand by their daughter on a wooden dock, poised to embark on a journey across the reflective waters. The young girl, dressed in period attire, appears eager and curious, a universal symbol of youth's anticipation for adventure. Her parents, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century, exude a sense of calm and assurance. Ohlson's brushwork brings the scene to life with a delicate interplay of light and shadow, mirroring the cloud-speckled sky on the lake's surface. The background is dotted with other vessels, suggesting the shared pleasure of the day's end on the water. Oscar Ohlson (1847–1912), born in Linneryd, Småland, and later settling in Borås, was a multifaceted artist who, after pursuing law, found his true calling in the arts. A student of Alfred Wahlberg...

  • Dutch Winter landscape with children playing on the ice by Per Wickenberg, 1839
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Per Wickenberg was a Swedish artist active in the early 19th century. He was only 34 when he died of tuberculosis; thankfully for the art history - at that point, he had practised the art of painting for more than 20 years. After his art studies at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, he left Stockholm and travelled to Paris in 1837. In Paris, he finally received the well-deserved success for his landscapes; he won golden medals at the Salon de Paris both in 1838 for his painting "Nordiskt vinterlandskap" and in 1839 for a painting called "Vinterfiske". Per received a travel scholarship from Sweden and used that money for trips to Belgium and the Netherlands. Our painting is from that time, the time after his success in Paris, and in this magnificent painting, we see his talent in capturing the cold winter mood with meticulous care of details. Notice how nicely painted the children are on the ice, the sledge filled with hay to provide comfort and insulation against the cold. In the background, we can see an ice skater, a detail that gives the painting depth and three-dimensionality. This is a wonderful painting by a talented artist - who devoted almost his entire life to the art of painting.
