TEFAF Maastricht 2026

 

For TEFAF Maastricht 2026, our stand, no. 318, will be offering a new exhibition experience: an “exhibition within the exhibition” devoted to early 20^th century Swedish painters.

Swedish Lights focuses on the fascination of Nordic landscapes and the silent magic of the Swedish light, offering the opportunity to confront a pictorial language that marries formal rigour with poetic and intimate sensibility, transforming each scene into a contemplative experience.

Gustaf Fjæstad, Oskar Bergman, Jacob Olof Magnus Thunman and Axel Gabriel Zachrisson belong to that generation of Scandinavian painters who, between the late 19^th and early 20^th century, were adept at masterfully mediating between the academic tradition and the new examples of naturalism and symbolism coming out of Europe.

 

Equally compelling and of comparable interest, the stand will also feature a selection of paintings and sculptures by European artists from the mid-19^th century to the first half of the 20^th century. Our exhibition offering will range across different sensibilities, tracing out a path which blends history and aesthetic instinct: from the dreamlike dance in Faust by Theodore von Holst, Fuseli’s favourite pupil, to the Self-portrait as an identity manifesto by the female Parisian artist Henriette Daux.
