More about this artwork
"Roslag Street, Stockholm" by Karl Nordström is a striking example of atmospheric urban painting created between 1892 and 1896. This artwork captures a nocturnal view of Roslag Street, bathed in subdued light that hints at the quietude and isolation of nighttime.The painting's palette is dominated by dark hues, punctuated by the gentle glow of street lamps along the converging lines of the road, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The buildings that line the street are rendered with just enough detail to convey their imposing presence, yet they recede softly into the misty, indigo sky, contributing to the overall mood of solitude and introspection.This masterful use of light and shadow not only highlights Nordström’s skill in portraying light but also evokes a moment of stillness in the bustling urban environment of Stockholm.
