There are hardly any domestic counterparts in the Danish golden age to Kiærskou’s series of paintings of an idyllic Sweden in the midnineteenth century. In a few, carefully executed paintings, such as Gothenburg Seen from Örgryte, the artist offered examples of a finely-tuned perception of scenery, with a wealth of detail as well as expansive views. Part of what seems to have interested Kiærskou in the Swedish landscape were meetings between the land and the sea and between towns and the countryside.
