EDITORS COMMENTS
Per Hillestrom's Illumination at Skeps Holmen, an exquisite 18th century oil painting on panel, transports us back in time to the neoclassical era. The scene is set at Skeps Holmen, a historic harbor area in Stockholm, Sweden, with the dark Baltic Sea serving as a tranquil backdrop. The painting showcases a panoramic view of the illuminated harbor, where horse-drawn carriages and vehicles are parked, and people, both men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, gather around. The neoclassical architecture of the buildings is beautifully illuminated, casting a warm glow over the scene. In the foreground, a horse and carriage waits, its driver holding the reins, while a child plays nearby. The use of color and light creates a sense of depth and texture, making the painting come alive. Hillestrom, also known as Pehr Hillestrom the Elder, was a prominent Swedish artist of the 18th century, known for his landscapes and architectural depictions. This painting is a testament to his skill and mastery of the art form, capturing the essence of the neoclassical era and the beauty of the Swedish landscape. The painting, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image, with its letterbox format, invites us to step into the past and experience the magic of the 18th century.
