Beskrivning

This vibrant chromolithograph depicts Kvikkjokk Church, nestled in the remote wilderness of Swedish Lapland. The image comes from Carl Anton Pettersson’s work Lapland, Its Nature and People, After Four Summers' Wanderings, published in Stockholm by C. E. Fritzes Bookstore (Eklund & Giron) in 1866. The composition combines scientific interest with artistic sensitivity, capturing both the rugged Nordic landscape and cultural heritage.

Carl Anton Pettersson (1861–1928) was a Swedish artist, illustrator, and explorer renowned for his vivid documentation of Scandinavian landscapes and indigenous cultures. His multi-year journeys through Lapland were translated into richly illustrated works that contributed both to ethnographic knowledge and the romantic visual tradition of the North. His prints are valued for their authenticity, detail, and artistic quality.
