Kvällsstämning vid Kornhamnstorg, Stockholm 1897

"Kvällsstämning vid Kornhamnstorg, Stockholm" (Evening Mood at Kornhamnstorg, Stockholm), painted in 1897 by Swedish artist Eugène Jansson, depicts a serene night scene in Stockholm. The composition is dominated by the silhouette of a boat moored in the harbor, framed against the backdrop of a dimly lit cityscape. Jansson’s signature pointillist technique, employing small dabs of color, captures the soft glow of the city lights reflected on the water, creating a sense of tranquility and atmospheric depth. The artist's sensitivity to light and color characterizes this work, a prime example of the late 19th-century Impressionist movement in Sweden.
