Striking large vintage original landscape by listed artist Fritz Kärfve from Sweden. An atmospheric summer landscape featuring a charming countryside village with a great use of composition which zig zags back and forth across the canvas leading the eye deep into the scene creating depth. Harmonious and saturated color. I have had this painting in my personal collection for a while and am now letting it go. A decision I will likely regret! A classic landscape by a very accomplished artist. Stunning in person!
