Karl Georg Arsenius, Portrait Of A Chestnut Horse
A cheerful depiction of a chestnut horse in a stable by Swedish painter, Karl Georg Arsenius (1855-1908). Following his tuition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, Arsenius had the fortune of studying in Paris at one of its most exciting times. He moved there in 1882, during a period known as ‘the Belle Époque’, and he would’ve witnessed several grand events, such as the construction of the Eiffel Tower and The Exposition Universelle (where he exhibited). This storm of creativity and progress also provided the catalyst for the controversial Impressionists, who, by 1882, had already left their indelible mark on the City.
It’s interesting to consider how far Arsenius’ studies incorporated the work of the Impressionists as the City was still so divided on whether impressionism constituted ‘good art’. A few of his works seem to embrace the casual, light and airy style whole-hearty, yet others are a little finer.
This particular piece is typical of the way he painted horses within stable interiors. The horse itself has some fine details and Arsenius has paid great attention to the way the light reflects from the horse's muscular frame. Yet, the stable, including the hay underfoot, appears to have been painted quickly with lively brushwork.
Several works by this notable Scandinavian artist are held in public collections, including at the National Museum in Stockholm and the Gothenburg Art Museum.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
