EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century painting depicts the full-rigger Blixten, which joined Gavle's merchant fleet in 1837. The ship, belonging to Dan Elfstrand & co and captained by C.J Bolin, is shown in all its glory as it sails through the choppy waters. The full rigged ship, with its impressive sails billowing in the wind, cuts through the waves with a sense of power and determination. In the background, an active volcano erupts, adding a sense of danger and excitement to the scene. The painting, executed in watercolour and gouache, showcases the beauty and intricacy of the ship's design, from its ornate figurehead to the intricate rigging. The coastal landscape, with its rocky cliffs and crashing waves, adds to the sense of adventure and exploration. This historic artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the thrill of sailing on the Blixten during the 1830s. The painting is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Gavleborg County, and a reminder of the important role that sailing ships played in Sweden's history.
