soldOct. 27, 2021HENRIC ANKARCRONA (Sweden, 1831-1917). "Caravan with Bedouins in the Desert, North Africa," 1874. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower corner. Measurements:74 x 69; 65 x 92 (frame).
Est: €12,000 - €14,000HENRIC ANKARCRONA (Sweden, 1831-1917). "Caravan with Bedouins in the Desert, North Africa," 1874. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower corner. Measurements:74 x 69; 65 x 92 (frame). Henric Ankarcrona was a painter with great sensitivity for the landscapes and peoples he encountered on the many journeys he made as a military man. Especially memorable are the legacy of paintings on Moroccan themes: Bedouins resting, camel caravans, battles, sublime landscapes of the Atlas or the Rif.... In this representation, the composition acquires a mythical texture, as much by the scenographic treatment as by the characterization of the Bedouins wrapped in tunics following an infinite path, which enters the mist. A timeless patina permeates the composition. Nobility emanates from each figure. The depth of field has been captured with masterful technique. The sand swirls lightly enveloping the group, and marking a smooth transition between the golden orography and the blue intensity of the sky. Of military cart Henric Ankarcrona, served as an officer, in France and Spain and participated in several campaigns in North Africa. There he diligently drew motifs with field life and desert battles, camel caravans and Arab tribes, sketches that after his return to Sweden formed the basis of a large number of paintings. Ankarcrona was part of the circle of artists around Charles XV.

soldOct. 27, 2021HENRIC ANKARCRONA (Sweden, 1831-1917). "Equestrian scene at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, North Africa", 1872. Oil on canvas. It has slight damage. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measures: 53 x 95 cm 86 x 128 cm (frame).
Est: €12,000 - €14,000HENRIC ANKARCRONA (Sweden, 1831-1917). "Equestrian scene at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, North Africa", 1872. Oil on canvas. It has slight damage. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measures: 53 x 95 cm 86 x 128 cm (frame). Oil on canvas in which the author represents a scene in which stands out the figure of a man on a horse in cabriole. The expressiveness of the posture of both, introduces the viewer into a battle scene, which is developing in the background. Orientalism was born in the 19th century as a consequence of the romantic spirit of escape in time and space. The first orientalists sought to reflect the lost, the unattainable, in a dramatic journey destined from the beginning to failure. Like Flaubert in "Salambo", painters painted detailed portraits of the Orient and imagined pasts, recreated to the millimeter but ultimately unknown and idealized. During the second half of the 19th century, however, many of the painters who traveled to the Middle East in search of this invented reality discovered a different and new country, which stood out with its peculiarities above the clichés and prejudices of Europeans. Thus, this new orientalist school leaves behind the beautiful odalisques, the harems and the slave markets to paint nothing but what they see, the real Orient in all its daily dimension. Along with the change of vision comes a technical and formal change; since it is no longer a question of recreating an imagined world in all its details, the brushstroke acquires impressionistic fluency, and the artists focus not so much on the depiction of the types and customs as on the faithful reflection of the atmosphere of the place, of the very identity of the North African populations. Henric Ankarcrona served as an officer in France and Spain and participated in several campaigns in North Africa. There he diligently drew motifs of country life and desert battles, camel caravans and Arab tribes. Sketches that after his return to Sweden formed the basis of a large number of paintings. Ankarcrona was part of the circle of artists around Charles XV.
