Johannes Grenness, A View Of Skäldervike, Sweden Landscape Orientation A fine mid-19th-century oil paintingA light filled impressionistic view of Skldervike in Sweden by Norwegian artist, Johannes Grenness (1875 1963). Skldervike is a picturesque bay in south Sweden thats comprised of several fishing villages. Its fairly close to Copenhagen in Denmark where Grenness lived with his family. We love the broad brushstrokes and free spirited feel in this piece. You can imagine Grenness discovering this woody spot and admiring the view before he set to work.
