Ett Hem - Sundborns gamla kyrka

Sundborns gamla kyrka – Carl Larsson

This exquisite watercolor by Carl Larsson captures Sundborns gamla kyrka, the historic church near his family’s home in Sundborn, Sweden. As part of his book Ett hem (1899), Larsson’s illustration showcases the deep connection between Swedish heritage, architecture, and the natural landscape.

The composition highlights the church’s traditional wooden facade, intricate shingle detailing, and the warm glow of the evening sun, casting long shadows across the tranquil churchyard. The soft, muted tones and delicate brushwork bring a sense of stillness and reverence to the scene, reflecting the peaceful role the church played in the community.

A perfect print for those who appreciate Swedish history, architecture, and countryside charm, this artwork fits beautifully in a living room, study, or hallway. Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, it brings a sense of serenity and Nordic tradition into any space.
