The story behind the motif
Canvas with a painting from 1903 by the iconic Swedish artist and writer August Strindberg. The painting is called The City.
In the picture we see a dark landscape with a sky filled with large cloud formations in white, black and grey. The lower part of the picture consists of a water surface and in the foreground a dark beach edge. On the horizon we see a city. The city appears to float on the water, like a mirage. The city – which symbolizes civilization, culture and life – is very remote. As spectators, we find ourselves in a dark landscape far from civilized society.
August Strindberg (1849-1912) was a Swedish writer, playwright and artist. He is considered one of Sweden's most important writers, internationally known primarily as a playwright. Several of his works are considered classics in Swedish literature.
Artist: August Strindberg | Created: 1903.
