More about this artwork

The painting "The Sun over Lofoten. Study" (1920) by Anna Boberg captivates with its vibrant texture and evocative use of color. This impressionistic landscape captures the rugged beauty of the Lofoten Archipelago in Norway. Boberg’s brushwork skillfully renders the mountains that rise starkly against a subdued sky.Intriguingly, the towering peaks are painted in a palette of pinks, blues, and whites, suggesting the chilly yet gentle touch of the sun's rays during a possibly cold morning or evening. The lower part of the canvas shows a contrasting dark, serene body of water, possibly a fjord, and minimalistic representations of Norwegian coastal flora. This canvas strip at the forefront acts as a stark grounding element against the softly swirling and somewhat chaotic peaks.This study doesn't just reflect a physical location but also resonates with a deep appreciation for the unique Nordic landscape, interpreted through Boberg’s expressive artistic lens. Overall, the painting offers a glance into the pristine and untouched natural beauty of the Arctic Circle, which Boberg was remarkably adept at capturing.

Anna Katarina Boberg (1864 – 1935) was a Swedish artist married to prominent architect Ferdinand Boberg. Boberg was a person of many artistic pursuits; initially she worked with ceramics and textiles and besides painting she also worked with set design and writing. She was of an artistic family, but never received any formal training in the arts, and is considered an autodidact. Many of her paintings are of northern Norway, which became Boberg's main focus for many years after a trip there in 1901. These works were not received very well in Sweden, but did much better in Paris. Boberg spent a great deal of time in the area near Lofoten in Norway, where she eventually had a cabin, and she made many of those trips on her own.
