Essay:
This landscape by Hilding Werner transports the viewer to the serene beauty of Värmland. Dominated by the vast expanse of sky, which occupies approximately two-thirds of the composition, the painting draws attention to the artist's masterful use of broad, confident brushstrokes. The delicate interplay of colors in the sky, particularly the soft lilac tones, conveys a serene yet dynamic ambiance, beautifully capturing the ephemeral magic of twilight.
At the horizon, the gentle rolling hills and rustic red cottages, nestled among the snowy trees, serve as a subtle reminder of Värmland's rural charm. Werner's ability to blend romanticism with realism is evident, reflecting the influence of his contemporaries Gustaf Fjæstad and Otto Hesselbom. The painting is a testament to Werner's deep connection to the landscapes of his home region and his skill in translating its essence onto canvas.
Hilding Werner (1880–1944), a Värmland native, studied at Caleb Althin’s school in Stockholm and was influenced by the likes of Richard Bergh and the artists’ group De Frie. While he is celebrated for his landscapes, Werner also explored satirical caricature and portraiture. His painting can be seen in Värmlands Museum, Karlstad.
