๐จ Blue Interior, 1883
by Harriet Backer ๐ณ๐ด
oil on canvas, 66 x 84 cm
The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Norway
About the artwork:
The painting depicts an interior, likely a room in a house, bathed in a cool blue light that gives the scene its title. The composition focuses on the play of light within the room, highlighting the textures of the furnishings and the architectural details. The source of light, possibly a window out of view, casts a serene and almost ethereal glow throughout the space.
Backer's technique is marked by her attention to detail and her skillful handling of light and shadow. The use of varying shades of blue creates depth and adds to the painting's tranquil and reflective quality. The brushwork is precise yet subtle, contributing to the overall sense of calm and serenity. 3 replies
