Alfred Jansson (1863-1931) 1921 Oil on canvas Canvas: 11" x 14" Frame: 18" x 21" I'm pleased to offer this stunning winter landscape in its original arts and crafts frame. DM if interested. Below is an excerpt from the M. Christine Scwartz Collection's Website about Jansson. Born in the province of Vermland, Sweden, Alfred Jansson studied art in Stockholm, Oslo, and Paris. He immigrated to America and settled in Chicago in 1889, but he did not become a U.S. citizen until 1922. Jansson continued his art studies in his adopted city and painted murals in the Swedish Building at the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. For more than two decades beginning in 1898, he was a prolific exhibitor in the Art Institute of Chicago’s annual exhibitions, showing landscape paintings exclusively. Jansson worked in oils and occasionally also in watercolors and pastel. His subjects, rarely specified in his titles, were drawn from the Chicago region as well as from his native country, which he revisited at least once, in the early 1920s. Jansson was particularly noted for his winter scenes, one of which earned him the Art Institute’s Clyde M. Carr Prize in 1914. #alfredjansson #oilpaintingoncanvas #oilpainting #oilpaintings #impressionistpainting #americanimpressionist #winterlandscapes #impressionism #swedishartist #chicagoartist #chicagoartinstitute #chicagoart #artsandcraftsframe (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVKzk6rgszu/?utm_medium=tumblr
