Axel Nordgren, Coast in the Moonlight atmospheric nocturnal coastal landscape with a lonely rowing boat on the water in front of fishermen's cottages on the beach, atmospheric, glazed, partially impasto painting in almost monochrome colours, Brita Linde comments "... Together with his younger colleague Gustaf Rydberg, Nordgren discovered the beaches of Arild and Skälderviken in the 1870s. From here he mainly painted moonlight pieces. The dark, stony beach usually forms an ellipse ... and contrasts with the wide expanse that glistens on the slightly undulating water surface. The horizon is low, so that the sky with the full moon between clouds dominates the scenery. ...", c. 1870, signed "A.
