Oskar Bergman – Snowy Landscape

Oskar Bergman (1879–1963), Snowy Landscape, watercolor, signed and dated 1940, H. 37 cm; W. 47 cm.

Self-taught artist, Oskar Bergman drew inspiration from the German Romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich and from the great Swedish masters he admired during his regular visits to museums. His unique style, tinged with Japanese influence, simplifies natural forms without diminishing them, revealing their richness and ever-changing character.

His works capture serene landscapes where nature follows the solemn rhythm of the seasons. A master of winter scenes, Bergman transports us here to a setting bathed in the gentle light of a setting sun. The rippling surface of a lake or river shimmers under the low light, as if dusted with gold. The shore, blanketed in pristine snow, is dotted with the delicate silhouettes of trees, their fine black branches standing out in the peaceful atmosphere.

Contemplating his watercolors, we are drawn into a world where time seems suspended, yet life pulses quietly in every detail.
