Essay:
Painted in 1917, this striking winter landscape captures the force and stillness of a spring flood, likely set in the artist’s native Ockelbo region. The painting is a rare example of Andreas Hanson's limited output. A historic photograph held by the Gävleborg County Museum shows this work exhibited alongside two other paintings by Hanson around 1920. Notably, the painting still retains its original frame, which is visible in the archival image.
Though little is known about Hanson's life today, his works—often winter scenes imbued with a quiet northern atmosphere—have a distinct place in early 20th-century Swedish regional painting. This composition is particularly remarkable for its nuanced depiction of light and movement in the thawing water.
Condition report: The painting is in a very good condition and has recently undergone a surface cleaning. The original frame has an old patina and has been repaired in several places, particularly along the edges.
