DescriptionDescription: When the artists Marcus Larson and Alfred Wahlberg wanted to portray sublime Swedish views in the mid-1800s, they would paint inhospitable terrain, with strong winds and rapid waters. Towards the end of the century, a deep tranquility settled over landscapes. In this painting by Prince Eugen of a view from Tyresö, the night light that is so characteristic of the Nordic summer, lets the gaze roam far across the deep waters and forests. The experience of vast expanses is enhanced by a serene stillness.
