Essay:
We are delighted to present this rare miniature landscape by the artist Oskar Bergman. Measuring just 5.5 x 4 cm, this exquisite piece comes with its original frame and gold passepartout.
The painting beautifully depicts a tranquil scene of birch trees standing tall by a meandering stream, set against a vivid blue sky. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase Bergman's mastery in watercolor, capturing the serene beauty of the Swedish landscape with remarkable precision and realism.
About the artist: Oskar Bergman (born October 18, 1879, in Stockholm – died July 20, 1963, in Saltsjöbaden) was a distinguished Swedish painter and graphic artist. Bergman primarily worked with watercolor and gouache, creating realistic and detailed portrayals of the central Swedish landscape. Despite being self-taught, he made several study trips across Europe to refine his skills and broaden his artistic horizons.
Bergman's works are well-represented in prominent institutions such as the Nationalmuseum, the Thiel Gallery, Norrköping Art Museum, Örebro County Council, and Malmö Museum. He resided near Neglinge Gård in Saltsjöbaden for many years and is buried at the local cemetery in Skogsö. Notably, Oskar Bergman was the brother of actor and theater director Axel Bergman.
This miniature landscape, which is one of the finest we have seen, is a testament to Bergman's exceptional talent and his ability to encapsulate the essence of nature in a compact format.
