| Olof Arborelius Lake view at Engelsberg, Västmanland 1893 oil on canvas Nationalmuseum, Stockholm |
"This view of a lake is captured in the clear light of a typical, still Swedish summer's day. Painted in 1893, it was purchased for the Nationalmuseum the following year. Since then this has been one of the Museum's best-loved paintings, its designation by the Swedish Tourist Association in 1935 as the quintessential 'Picture of Sweden' helping to make it famous. Arborelius's painting is also the work in the Museum's collection most often copied by visiting artists and art students."

| Alfred Bergström Winter scene from the Stockholm waterfront 1899 oil on canvas Nationalmuseum, Stockholm |
"Sleigh-loads of snow are being tipped over the Blaseiholmen quayside. In the background looms southern Stockholm. Alfred Bergström captures the effects of light on the snowy urban scene. In the foreground, the colours of the drifts range from dazzling high-lights to violet blue shadows. His attention to reflected light suggests an influence from Impressionism gained during the artist's travels abroad in the mid-1890s."

| August Malmström Dancing Fairies 1866 oil on canvas Nationalmuseum, Stockholm |
"The moon illuminates a still landscape through which a river flows sedately. Trees appear as dark silhouettes against the sky. Hand-in-hand, the fairies sweep like a wispy mist through the landscape, their movements like a ring dance. One kisses the surface of the water or is reflected in it. Like the others, she has long flowing hair and is wearing a garland. . . . According to Swedish folklore, fairies were often to be seen dancing around hills, burial mounds, mountains and forests. People were warned to remain watchful and avoid them, as they could cause illness. August Malmström's painting became a widely-recognised image through versions and reproductions in magazines and illustrations."
