Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918
Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918

Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918

Located in Stockholm, SE

This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere. Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...

Balloon Dog (Blue)

By Jeff Koons

Located in Östermalm, Stockholms län

Balloon Dog (Blue) 2021. Porcelain with metallic chromatic coating Limited edition of 69/799 ex. Certificate of authenticity and the original box. Incised signature, edition number, titled and dated on the underside. Produced by Bernardaud, Limoges, France. Jeff Koons is an American pop artist, born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955 to a mother who was a seamstress and a father who worked as an interior decorator. He is known for working with popular culture subjects and for his reproductions of banal objects. His works have sold for important amounts, including one world record auction price for a work by a living artist. Jeff Koons had an early interest in art and as a teenager he admired Salvador Dalí. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As a student he met the artist Ed Paschke who became a major influence and for whom he worked as a studio assistant in the late 1970’s. In 1977 Jeff Koons moved to New York City where he worked at the Museum of Modern Art whilst establishing himself as an artist. In the 1980’s he began working as a Wall Street commodities broker in order to finance his art projects. He wanted to be independent from the art market and has expressed that: ”I could make exactly what art I wanted to make. And I would always know that I didn’t need the art market.” In the mid-1980’s Jeff Koons gained prominence and recognition as part of a generation of artists who explored the meaning af art in a media-saturated era. He set up a factory-like studio in a SoHo loft with over 30 assistants. Since his first solo exhibition in 1980 Jeff Koon’s work has been shown in major galleries and institutions throughout the world. His work was the subject of a major exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective in 2014, which traveled to the Centre Pompidou Paris and then further to Guggenheim Bilbao in 2015. His most recent series, Gazing Ball Paintings, was exhibited for the first time at Gagosian Gallery, New York in 2015. The artist has earned renown for his public sculptures, such as the monumental...

The Racken Group, A Värmland Lake View, 1945

By Ture Ander

Located in Stockholm, SE

This landscape painting by Ture Ander, completed in 1945, captures the serene beauty of a Värmland lake. The composition is dominated by soft, blue hues that give a tranquil feel, suggesting a calm day by the water. The trees in the foreground, depicted with a delicate blend of pink and earthy tones, add depth and contrast to the expansive lake and distant hills. Ture Ander was born on September 17, 1880, in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he moved to Stockholm to apprentice as a painter. While working during the day, he pursued evening courses at the Technical School, now known as Konstfack, where he graduated in 1903 with high honors in painting. In 1905, Ander was accepted into the prestigious Artist Association School, studying alongside prominent artists such as Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...

Hermanus Koekkoek Jr Dutch Harbor Scene Oil Jan van Couver Painting
Hermanus Koekkoek Jr Dutch Harbor Scene Oil Jan van Couver Painting

Hermanus Koekkoek Jr Dutch Harbor Scene Oil Jan van Couver Painting

Located in Stockholm, SE

This atmospheric harbour scene by Hermanus Koekkoek Jr., working under the pseudonym Jan van Couver, exemplifies the artist’s mature approach to maritime and town views during his London period. The composition presents a Dutch waterfront animated by boats, windmills, and clustered buildings, all set beneath a vast and dynamic sky. The emphasis on shifting weather conditions and the interaction between water, light, and architecture reflects a deep engagement with both tradition and contemporary developments in nineteenth century painting. Koekkoek belonged to one of the most distinguished artistic dynasties in the Netherlands. As the son of Hermanus Koekkoek the Elder and nephew of Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, he inherited a strong foundation in landscape and marine painting. His early training within the family atelier in Amsterdam provided him with a disciplined understanding of composition and natural observation. However, his later move to London in 1869 marked a decisive shift in both style and market orientation. It was during this period that he adopted the name Jan van Couver, a strategic choice that aligned his work with a broader European appeal. The present painting reveals a confident and increasingly free handling of paint. The foreground water is rendered with swift horizontal strokes that capture the movement of the surface, while the boats and harbour structures are constructed through more concentrated applications of pigment. The use of impasto is particularly notable, lending the painting a tactile presence and enhancing the interplay between light and texture. This painterly richness contributes to a vivid sense of immediacy, as if the scene were observed directly on site. The sky dominates the composition, occupying a large portion of the pictorial space. Broad, swirling brushstrokes articulate the mass of clouds, which appear to gather and disperse in response to changing atmospheric conditions. This treatment reflects the influence of the Hague School, whose artists sought to convey the mood and variability of the Dutch landscape through tonal harmony and expressive brushwork. Koekkoek’s interpretation is more animated, however, suggesting an openness to impressionistic tendencies that were gaining ground across Europe. At the same time, the painting remains anchored in a clear compositional structure. The line of the harbour guides the viewer’s eye into the distance, where the forms dissolve into a softer haze. The presence of windmills, a quintessential feature of the Dutch landscape, reinforces the sense of place while also introducing vertical accents that balance the horizontal expanse of water and sky. The architecture is suggested rather than fully defined, allowing atmosphere and light to take precedence over detail. Koekkoek’s work occupies an interesting position between tradition and modernity. While rooted in the conventions of Dutch marine painting...
