Riddarfjärden. A Stockholm
1898
Eugène Jansson, often called the 'painter of Stockholm,' captures the magical, freezing twilight of the Swedish capital in this towering winter scene. You can almost feel the crisp air as glowing streetlamps pierce the deep blues and purples of the snow-covered foreground and the frozen Riddarfjärden bay. The distant city skyline, complete with a sharp church spire, sits quietly under a swirling, dusky sky, showcasing Jansson's signature moody, almost musical approach to light and color during his famous 'blue period.'
