This is the only work of Louis Sparre that I have seen, Jane, so I'm not sure how typical it is. A quick look at Google Images suggests he was quite varied, and painted quite a few nudes as well as landscapes.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-2892535020129284442015-01-23T15:38:33.833+00:002015-01-23T15:38:33.833+00:00What a life!

Sparre makes the wavy reflections of buildings in water appear to move; that can't be easy or more artists would do it. I wonder if this landscape is characteristic of Sparr'e work? It reminds me of paintings by Frits Thaulow, although most notably Thaulow's Marble Stiarcase in Venice from 1903. A far cry from Scandinavia.Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.com
