A lyrical and atmospheric study of the Halland countryside, this work by Swedish artist Inga Berg captures the region’s rolling fields, clustered trees and quietly rhythmic architecture with a refined, modern sensibility. Painted in 1953, the composition is built on cool, layered tones of green and blue, punctuated by the warm red of farm buildings nestled into the landscape.
Berg’s brushwork is economical yet expressive, allowing the scene to emerge through soft shapes rather than strict detail. The result is a landscape that feels both observed and remembered, its mood shaped as much by colour and form as by the place itself.
Presented in a linen mount and simple wooden frame that echo the painting’s understated palette, the work is a thoughtful example of mid-century Swedish landscape painting—romantic not through ornament, but through its quiet, intuitive stillness.
