Description

This extensive early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Viggo Pedersen (1854-1926) depicts a sunlit lake, mature oak trees, hayfield, horses and figure. It’s a large work, almost certainly intended for exhibition.

Pedersen was an important member of the Danish artistic community and worked tirelessly to evolve his style throughout his successful career. Over time, his brushwork became looser and more expressive, which brought him closer to the progressive European artists of his generation.

In 1891, he co-founded Den Frie Udstilling (The Free Exhibition), established as a rebellion against the traditional views of the Danish Academy. Eminent contemporaries such as Vilhelm Hammershøi, Peder Severin Krøyer, Kristian Zahrtmann, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh exhibited there.

Here, in this masterly piece from around 1920, the subject is sunlight with each element presented with contrasting degrees of illumination. It’s a symphony of light effects, composed by nature herself. The trees, striking in near-silhouette, are juxtaposed with the buoyancy of a shimmering lake. While the clouds, captured in all their complexity, appear to pass over us, caught by a light breeze.

The view is reminiscent of another work ‘Near Skarridsø On Zealand’, which he produced in 1921.

Signed in the lower right and held within a gilt frame.

FAQs

This artistic movement typically focuses on naturalism, capturing the atmospheric light, rural topography, and tranquil rural scenes of the Nordic countryside with careful attention to detail.

These pieces generally consist of oil pigments applied to a woven linen or cotton canvas, stretched over a wooden strainer frame, and housed within a gilded carved wood or composition frame.

Authenticity is determined by examining the canvas weave, the presence of stable craquelure in the paint layer, historical stretcher construction, artist signatures, and any framing or gallery labels on the reverse.

Such a piece serves as a traditional focal point that adds depth and historical contrast when hung against neutral contemporary wall colours or paired with minimalist furnishings.

To preserve the artwork, keep it out of direct sunlight, maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning the canvas or repairing the frame.
