ROME.—Having already treated the
Italian section of the International
Art Exhibition in a separate notice I
propose here to glance at the main
features of interest in some of the foreign
sections. The art of Sweden, Norway, and
Denmark is contained within the same Palace
of Art as the Italian paintings and sculpture,
occupying about six rooms in all, and containing
much that is of original merit. The work of
Anders Zorn is too well known to readers of The
Studio to need detailed criticism here, more
especially as, though fully represented here with
twelve paintings, he does not in any of them depart
from themes- which he had already treated with
distinction. His Morning Awakening and Mother
and Daughter brilliant instances of his technique
in flesh painting and mastery of reflections; very
charming, too, are the studies now reproduced,
Kari, A Mora Peasant Girl, and At the Window.
Besides Zorn, Carl Larssen figures largely in this
Swedish section with thirty-six water-colours—
studies of Swedish home life—and other works, and
Oesterman’s portrait of H.M. the King of Sweden
is to be noted.
Norway shows the work of Halfdar Strom, the
portraits of Munch and the modernity and relent-
less realism of Christian Krohg; while Thorolf
Holmboe appears with three landscapes, one
of which is here reproduced. In the art of
Denmark I would call special attention to the
Youth and Sunshine of the painter J. F. Willumsen,
whose portrait appears beside his wife in this same
section from the brush of N. V. Dorph, with the
very painting just mentioned introduced behind
them, upon the walls of their studio. This work
with its invigorating title is certainly a masterpiece
of brilliant plein-air painting—a scene on the sands,
a lot of merry youngsters scampering over the beach
