Carl Johansson, also known as "Ultramarin Johansson," was a Swedish artist born in 1863 and known for his distinctive blue-toned paintings. His work often depicted landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes, capturing the beauty and essence of Sweden's natural landscapes.

We are proud to offer one of his late works from 1935 for sale. This painting depicts a beautiful landscape from Nordingrå, a small village situated on the High coast of Sweden. The beauty of Nordingrå has captured many artists in the 19th-century, inspiring many famous painters, including Helmer Osslund with its rugged coastlines, dense forests, and crystal-clear lakes. 

The painting features a tranquil river painted in short, blue brushstrokes with a shimmering effect, capturing the reflection of the surrounding nature. In the background, we can see the blue-tinted mountains and a sky with clouds. The subtle details of the distant houses add to the serenity and peacefulness of the painting.
