More about this artwork
In our latest exhibition, we are proud to showcase the evocative work of Anna Boberg titled "Overcast Weather. Study from North Norway". This painting reveals the unique charm of a North Norwegian landscape under a blanket of snow, highlighting Boberg's profound admiration for the Arctic's subtle beauty.The canvas is masterfully painted, capturing the stillness of a snowy day. White, thick snow covers the ground, undulating softly around wooden structures and snow-laden rooftops. The cold, muted tones of blue, gray, and white suggest the chill of winter, yet the scene retains a quiet warmth, possibly from the dimly perceived colors of the buildings in cold weather.Through the haze of overcast skies, the viewer can discern hints of a fishing village, with boats that appear to be tucked away for the season and distant chimneys that suggest the presence of a steadfast, if secluded, community. This landscape neither celebrates nor mourns the harshness of winter but rather presents a candid reflection of it.Anna Boberg, known for her profound connection to and interpretation of Lofoten's landscapes in Norway, immerses us into a moment of pure, natural observation. Her technique involves bold, impressionistic strokes that give life and texture to the snow and architecture, making "Overcast Weather" not just a visual, but a tactile experience.This painting serves as a splendid capture of life in the far North, viewed through the delicate lens of an artist who both respects and cherishes the fleeting moods of a northern winter.

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.
