Title: Walpurgis Night in Bergslagen, Grangärde in Dalarna
Description: Anshelm Schultzberg got the idea for this painting on a trip to Italy in 1891–1892, but the subject and the mood are unmistakably Swedish. The setting is Bergslagen on Wal-purgis Eve, with bonfires spreading light and offering warmth in the cold evening. The blue atmosphere is reminiscent of artists such as Eugène Jansson. The painting was shown at the General Art and In-dustrial Exhibition in Stockholm in 1897.
