More about this artwork
"Evening Mood-Lidingö" (1900) by Eugène Jansson captures a stirring twilight scene on the serene island of Lidingö, located near Stockholm, Sweden. This landscape painting is imbued with a potent sense of both melancholy and awe as it portrays the closing moments of the day. A central feature of the artwork is a large, silhouette-like boulder that looms mysteriously against the darkening sky, while a narrow path snakes mysteriously around it, leading the viewer's eye into the unknown depths of the landscape.The sky, a canvas of soft blues and fiery reds, suggests the mesmerizing interplay of light at sunset, hinting at the beauty and transience of the day's last light. The naturalistic hues and the shadowy terrain underline the solemnity of an ending day, evoking a mood of contemplation and solitude. Jansson's use of color and contrast not only highlights the dramatic effects of natural light but also contributes to the overall emotional and atmospheric depth of the painting.This work is a testament to Jansson's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and his profound connection to the landscapes around Stockholm.

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".
