About the piece
Painted in 1879, Johan Edvard Bergh’s "Fishing" is a masterclass in the Swedish Dusseldorf school of landscape painting. The work features a delicate interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the distinctive white bark of the birch trees and the tranquil ripples of the water. This peaceful scene, with its earthy tones and soft sky, offers a timeless window into the quiet beauty of the Nordic countryside.
