Carl Fredrik Hill 'The Tree and the Road'
*When Carl Fredrik Hill, in the spring of 1877, Bois-le-Roi and Brolles arrived, it was as if a whole new world opened up for the artist. With intensity, Hill depicted the flowering fruit trees, and by the end of April, he had completed *"a dozen flowering landscapes." Erik Blomberg mentions "the harmony of happy love" that the landscape evoked.
"The Tree and the Road" is characterized by the artist's sense of light and atmosphere. Anderberg speaks of a "declaration of love of all this flowering and fragrant richness" and writes about the motifs of flowering fruit trees: "The white flower crowns of the fruit trees never float together with the white cloud wall. Pink touches, but also inserts of blue and green play a part in this colour scheme with unfailing certainty. Everything is added as if in a trance. Hill turns out to have discovered the deepest secrets of colour painting and is plays with them at will".
