Hornsgatan 1902

"Hornsgatan" (1902) by Swedish artist Eugène Jansson (1862-1915) depicts a street scene at dusk. The painting features a dramatic, almost expressionistic, sky with a vibrant orange sunset and a deep blue twilight. The street itself is rendered in shadowy detail, emphasizing the contrast between the light of the street lamp and the surrounding darkness. The painting reflects the artist's interest in capturing the atmosphere and mood of urban life, particularly in the twilight hours. Jansson is known for his unique style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. This work exemplifies his ability to convey the emotional impact of a simple scene with striking visual power.
