"View of Stockholm" (1827) by Thomas Fearnley is a breathtaking depiction of the Swedish capital. The painting, now housed in the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, showcases the city's picturesque waterfront, with boats dotting the water and the city's skyline rising beyond. Fearnley's detailed brushstrokes capture the soft light of the day and the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The composition features a foreground populated by figures, a wide river, and the expansive cityscape in the background. The artwork highlights the beauty of Stockholm's urban landscape and serves as a testament to Fearnley's mastery of Romantic landscape painting.
