A Bite! (Carl Larsson) - Nationalmuseum - 23910
Summary
A Bite is perhaps the oil painting where Carl Larsson’s brushwork is most like that of his watercolours. This work is an example of how imaginative Rococo pastiche and plein-air naturalism need not be mutually exclusive. Carl Larsson’s paintings in this genre should be seen in relation to his delight in the 18th century and his major undertaking to illustrate Anna Maria Lenngren’s Samlade skaldeförsök, which he was working on in Grez on behalf of Albert Bonnier in 1883–84. Svenska: Napp är den av Carl Larssons oljemålningar från 1880-talet där penselföringen ligger närmast den i hans akvareller. Målningen är ett exempel på att den fantasifulla rokokopastischen och friluftsmåleriets naturtrohet inte uteslöt varandra. Man bör betrakta Carl Larssons bilder inom den här genren mot bakgrund av den vurm han kände inför 1700-talet och det stora arbete med illustrationer till Anna Maria Lenngrens Samlade skaldeförsök som han utförde i Grez på uppdrag av Albert Bonnier 1883–84.
Carl Larsson (1853–1919) was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolors, and frescoes. He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large painting now displayed inside the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.
