More about this artwork

Anna Boberg's painting, "An August Night. Study from North Norway," captures the serene beauty of a late summer evening in the far reaches of northern Norway. Bathed in the mellow glow of an August sunset, the scene features calm, reflective waters that carry the dying light of day across to the viewer, bordered by rugged mountains that rise sharply against a softly fading sky.At the center of this tranquil panorama, a lone ship anchors near a small island, perhaps a temporary respite from the day’s journey. In the foreground, brightly colored houses cling to the rocky shore, their vivid yellow walls echoing the warmth of the sunset, reinforcing the connection between human habitation and the stark natural beauty of the landscape.Boberg's skillful use of color and light invites contemplation, suggesting the quiet loneliness of the remote location while also celebrating its unique, rugged charm. The play of light across the painting, contrasting with the deep shadows of the rocky outcroppings, emphasizes the stark and pristine environment - a characteristic hallmark of the Scandinavian landscape that Boberg loved to portray.

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.
