The Countryside

A wonderfully expansive midcentury Swedish landscape, painted in 1952, looking out across a patchwork of cultivated fields towards a distant stretch of water. Broad, expressive brushwork gives the scene a wonderful sense of movement, with ochre, tobacco brown and vivid greens running through the land beneath a huge, restless blue-grey sky. There’s something almost abstract in the way the fields have been reduced to bands and blocks of colour, while tiny houses and rows of trees bring you back into the landscape. A generous, transporting painting with the loveliest sense of open air and distance.

Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth.
