Swedish Painting: Northern Light, Everyday Radiance is the official exhibition brand for a major presentation of Sweden’s artistic Golden Age. Developed with the full cooperation of Stockholm’s Nationalmuseum, the exhibition brings together around 80 paintings by Swedish artists, tracing developments from the 19th century into the early 20th century, with a focus on works created between the 1880s and 1915. It explores how artists who studied in France absorbed realism and naturalism before returning home to create art expressing a distinct Swedish identity.

Themes include the country’s landscapes and changing seasons, everyday life, familiar people, folklore, and inner or symbolic worlds. Featured artists include Carl Larsson and August Strindberg. The exhibition offers visitors an introduction to the warmth, emotional depth, and close attention to nature that characterize Swedish painting of the period.

Its official website provides practical information on venues, dates, access, and tickets, alongside highlights, a catalogue, an audio guide, merchandise, events, special content, and a promotional film
