Elin Danielson-Gambogi
(Finland, 1861-1919)

Oil on board.

"Autumn landscape from Sääksmäki". 48x68 cm.

Unsigned.

Provenance

The painting was originally owned by Gustaf Alfred Ullner, who owned a bicycle shop in Turku. Elin Danielson (later married Gambogi) bought three bikes from Ullner, and paid for them with three paintings: "Mediterranean view", "Breakfast" and "Autumn landscape from Sääksmäki". Ullner gave this piece to his oldest daughter Hjördis Ullner, and after her death, her youngest brother Nils Uno Holger received the painting. He then gave the painting to his nephew Carl-Johan Slotte.

Artist

Elin Danielson-Gambogi was a Finnish-Swedish artist born in Norrmark, Finnland. She studied at the Finnish Art Society's Drawing School in Helsinki, under Carl Eneas Sjöström, Hjalmar Munsterhjelm, in Adolf von Beckers private art school and in Paris as Académie Colarossi, and with Auguste Rodin. Danielson-Gambogi had been taught the art of classic drawing, landscape painting, perspective painting, porcelain painting, and was even for a period active in the porcelain factory Arabia. She was part of the so-called Önningeby colony, whose members consisted of Victor Westerholm, Fredrik Ahlstedt, J.A.G Acke and Nina Ahlstedt. Daniel-Gambogi was controversial, her portraits of women glurred boundaries as they showed every day, lightly dressed women. Her art is derivative of naturalism and national romanticism, and she favours a light colour pallet to depict the Mediterranean in a manner which calls upon impressionistic and academic painting styles.
