Oscar Lycke
Sunset From the North of Sweden. Nordic Light Art

c.1920

About the Item

This exquisite landscape painting by Oscar Lycke, a notable artist from Sundsvall who flourished around the turn of the 20th century, captures the serene beauty of a lake at sunset. The scene is delicately composed with a boat (Swedish "eka") resting against the shore, enveloped by the tranquil embrace of nature. Lycke's work, deeply rooted in the traditions of national romanticism and realism, offers a vivid portrayal of the natural world, reflecting a profound connection to his Swedish heritage and the landscapes that inspired him. Born and raised in Sundsvall, Lycke was from the beginning convinced of his path as an artist, despite not receiving formal art education. Encouraged initially by his drawing teacher, his journey into the art world was not without its challenges. Yet, his determination saw him through years of hardship, eventually allowing him to exhibit his work across Sweden, as well as internationally in Copenhagen and New York. Lycke's travels in search of motifs took him to various locations, enriching his palette with the diverse beauty of the Swedish countryside. Oscar Lycke's career was marked by his ability to support himself and his family through his art, a testament to his talent and the appreciation he garnered during his lifetime. Despite his premature death at the age of 50, Lycke's legacy endures, celebrated for his contribution to Swedish landscape painting and his unique ability to capture the essence of the North. This painting, a testament to Lycke's artistic vision and skill, is not just a piece of art but a portal to the serene and majestic landscapes of Sweden, inviting viewers to a moment of tranquility and reflection.

European Goldfinches, Taormina, By Swedish Artist Lindorm Liljefors
Located in Stockholm, SE
This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors.

Sunset over the Swedish Bohuslän Coast
Located in Stockholm, SE
This painting by Anders Wahlgren, a Swedish painter, depicts a serene coastal landscape at sunset, likely set in the Bohuslän region of Sweden. The image is bathed in the warm, glowing hues of the setting sun, reflecting off the calm waters. A lone seagull perches on a rock in the bottom right corner, adding a subtle touch of life to the tranquil scene. Anders Nils Henrik Wahlgren, born on February 15, 1861, in Lund, Sweden, was not only a skilled artist but also a forest science researcher. His artistic journey began early in his life, studying under the guidance of academic drawing master Axel Hjalmar Lindqvist in Lund. Later, during his time at the Forest Institute, he received artistic training from Anders Kallenberg. His travels for forestry studies led him to take a significant break in 1891, where he studied art in Brittany and Paris, particularly within a circle of Swedish painters and at a Scandinavian art school led by Richard Hall...
