More about this artwork
"In the Ray of Sunlight" is a striking work by the Swedish artist, Eugène Jansson, known for his evocative use of light and shadow. This monochrome artwork captures the essence of a solitary sailboat gently moving across the tranquil waters. Jansson’s mastery is evident in the way he manipulates light; a luminous beam casts a pathway across the water, highlighting the small vessel as the focal point amidst the vast, rippling sea.The artist employs a technique that intricately details the water's surface, creating a sense of movement and depth through myriad fine lines. This method not only accentuates the serene motion of the water but also serves to draw the viewer’s eye directly to the illuminated sailboat.Jansson's choice of a restrained palette emphasizes the contrast between the darkness of the night sea and the brilliant glimmer of sunlight, evoking a quiet moment of solitude and reflection.

Eugène Fredrik Jansson (18 March 1862, Stockholm – 15 June 1915, Skara) was a Swedish painter known for his night-time land- and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue. Towards the end of his life, from about 1904, he mainly painted male nudes. The earlier of these phases has caused him to sometimes be referred to as blåmålaren, "the blue-painter".
