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.

Ca. 35 x 51 cm. Signiert. Verso mit altem Etikett, dort von fremder Hand mit Werksangaben bezeichnet. In goldfarbenen Rahmen gerahmt (ungeöffnet). - Augenscheinlich in gutem Zustand. Firniß angegilbt. Punktuell altersbedingtes, feines Craquelé. Unter UV keine Retuschen erkennbar. Insgesamt gut. Mediterrane Küstenszene von großer Naturwahrheit mit panoramaartigem Blickwinkel. Italien war ein Sehnsuchtsort zahlreicher Dichter wie Künstler im 19. Jhd. Ausgehend von der tiefen Sehnsucht für das Land der Antike und Arkadien, bereisten etliche Maler wie Albert Flamm verlassene Dörfer, zerklüftete Küstenlandschaften und Orte wie die Campagna Romana. Unsere Szene zeigt die Küsten Sorrents, einer Gegend südlich des Golfes von Neapel im Südwesten Italiens. Flamm bereiste Italien erstmals 1845 zusammen mit Oswald Achenbach, damals eine Region mit der höchsten Anziehungskraft in Oberitalien. 1850 brachen sie zu der zweiten gemeinsamen Reise nach Italien auf, diesmal bereisten sie Rom, Neapel und Sizilien sowie die Umgebungen. Flamm dehnte seine Reise von 1850-1853 aus, sodass womöglich in dieser Zeit unsere Ölstudie entstand. Essentielles Gestaltungsmittel seiner Kompositionen waren das Licht, meist in warmen Tönen gehalten durch Sonnenschein. Landschaften wurden hierbei sein bevorzugtes Bildthema. Im Fokus unserer Szene steht der Küstenabschnitt, bestimmt durch eine von Trockenheit und Hitze gezeichneten Vegetation. Spitzen von Dächern und Türmen zeichnen die Umrisse eines kleinen Dorfes, nicht weit entfernt vom Mittelmeer. Zahlreiche Studien fertigte Flamm in jener schaffensreichen Zeit an, sie alle eint die einfühlsame Auseinandersetzung mit der italienischen Landschaft, die von Verbundenheit für das Land und seine Kultur zeugen und seinen Ruf als "Italienmaler" unter Beweis stellen. Oil on wood panel. Signed. With old label verso, inscribed there with work details by an unknown hand. Framed in golden frame (unopened). - Apparently in good condition. Varnish yellowed. Fine craquelure in places due to age. No retouches visible under UV light. Good overall. Mediterranean coastal scene of great natural truth with panoramic view. - Italy was a place of longing for many poets and artists in the 19th century. Based on a deep yearning for the land of antiquity and Arcadia, a number of painters, including Albert Flamm, travelled to deserted villages, rugged coastal landscapes and places such as the Campagna Romana. Our scene shows the coasts of Sorrento, an area south of the Gulf of Naples in south-western Italy. Flamm first travelled to Italy in 1845 together with Oswald Achenbach, at that time a region which was most longed for in northern Italy. In 1850, they set off on their second trip to Italy, this time travelling to the areas around Rome, Naples and Sicily. Flamm extended his journey from 1850-1853 so that our oil study was probably created during this time. The essential creative medium was light, usually in warm tones due to the sunshine. Landscapes became his preferred subject. The focus of our scene is the coastal section, characterized by vegetation marked by drought and heat. The tops of roofs and towers outline the contours of a small village not far from the Mediterranean. Flamm produced numerous studies during this creative period, all of which are united by a sensitive examination of the Italian landscape testifying to his connection to the country and its culture and proving his reputation as a "painter of Italy".

Der dänische Künstler ist für seine Landschaftsdarstellungen bekannt, die in seinem Werk hauptsächlich vertreten sind. Schovelin nahm im Alter von nur 12 Jahren das Studium der Malerei von 1839-46 an der Königlichen Dänischen Akademie der Schönen Künste in Kopenhagen bei Johann Ludvig Gebhard Lund auf. Für seine Sujets konzentrierte er sich nahezu ausschließlich auf seine nähere Umgebung. Hier widmete er sich sowohl der Küste des Landes in Seestücken, als auch dem Landesinneren und stellte idyllische Wiesenszenen dar. Stilistisch war Schovelin von einem empathischen, vom Gefühlsausdruck geleiteten Blick auf die Natur geprägt, sodass seine Kunst als einfühlsame Landschaftsmalerei zu bewerten ist. Oil on canvas. Signed. Framed in a golden stucco frame with floral and pearl ribbon decoration. - Slight colour abrasion along the edges as a trace of the framing. With craquelure due to age and isolated, tiny losses of colour. Yellowed varnish. No visible retouches under UV light. All in all good. - The Danish artist is known for his landscape depictions which are mainly represented in his work. Schovelin studied painting from 1839-46 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under Johann Ludvig Gebhard Lund when he was only 12 years old. He focussed almost exclusively on his immediate surroundings for his subjects. Here he devoted himself to the country's coast in seascapes as well as the inner of the country and depicted idyllic meadow scenes. Stylistically, Schovelin was characterised by an empathetic view of nature guided by emotional expression so that his art can be seen as sensitive landscape painting.
