“Expertise on the valuation of a very valuable original work by the famous Swedish painter Marcus Larsson, with motifs of Nordic mountain landscapes with fjords, executed around 1856-1857, probably in Paris. Signed art researcher fil.doktor Sixten Rönnow, Stockholm, today examined an oil painting on canvas of the following formats: day measure inside the frame height 35 cm, width 50 cm, and the painting inserted in a beautiful wide gilded frame from the time height 54 cm and width 68 cm. Motif: Nordic mountain landscape with fjords. At the far end are some mountain heights, one slightly snow-covered. In the background a rocky landscape and from the background the rapids roar forward towards the foreground. Big boulders. Partly cloudy sky.
Artist Determination: The painting, previously owned by people in the artist's home country, is an extraordinarily interesting sample of the renowned painter's artistry, at the height of his trajectory in the mid-1850s. He was the farmer from S Östergötland from 1825 and first became a saddler, but turned around in the 1840s and then underwent the Principle School of Art Academy, Stockholm, where he was rewarded with some medals, became in 1849 a drawing teacher in Hälsingborg, where he began, following the inspiration of the Dane Melbye, to paint marine studies and broke through at the art academy's exhibition in 1850, after which he studied in Düsseldorf for Andreas Achenbach and company and sea voyages to the Norwegian fjords and in the Baltic Sea. He became famous in 1853 for “Shipwreck at the coast of Bohuslän”, for “Lightening in moonlight”, etc. Romantic paintings, lived 1855-56 in Paris and made a name for himself as Sweden's greatest landscape painter. His later fates are tragic, he died poor in London in 1864, aged only 39. In Paris in 1856 he had painted his “perhaps best painting” (C.G.Laurin), “Norse Waterfall”, with the same motif as this painting, but in a huge format (the so-called state board) and with a slightly different composition than this: on the left bank a number of pine trees, etc. Although in a smaller format, this painting has equally high artistic merit.
- Sixten Rönnow, PhD, museiman, collaborator in the Swedish Artist Lexikon etc., signed and dated 30/9, 1964, Stockholm.
Not examined out of frame. Age wear. Crackeling occurs, as well as pressure marks after tensioning frame.
