The Golden Age of Swedish Art
This is a rare window into the Golden Age of Swedish Art (1880-1915), a transformative era when a young generation of painters moved beyond French naturalism to forge a distinct national identity. After studying abroad, these artists returned to Sweden to capture the hidden radiance of their homeland, blending realism with a lyrical, emotional depth. Focusing on themes of nature, light and the intimacy of daily life, the collection highlights the cultural roots of Nordic well-being and the unique aesthetic sensibility of Northern Europe.
In collaboration with the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, the exhibition marks the first major survey of its kind in Japan, featuring 80 works by iconic figures like Carl Larsson and August Strindberg. Visitors can expect an immersive journey through the evolution of Swedish painting, from its realistic foundations in the 1880s to the atmospheric, soulful landscapes that have recently garnered international acclaim.
