About the piece
Richard Bergh's 'Nordic Summer's Evening' is a hallmark of the National Romantic style. Painted at the turn of the century, it captures the luminous, atmospheric stillness of a Scandinavian twilight. The composition features two figures in contemplation—modeled by Prince Eugen and singer Karin Pyk—standing on a veranda that overlooks the glassy waters and distant forests of the Swedish landscape.
