Item description from seller

En mycket vacker akvarell, med fin proveniens. Bergers mästerskap i akvarelltekniken och hans förkärlek för kust- och hamnmotiv vittnar båda om hans skolning i England, som han besökte första gången 1832 och åter 1836-39, då han torde ha utfört denna hamnbild. Berger vistades i Dublin hösten 1838 och ordnade till och med en egen utställning där. - - - Om Bergers konsthistoriska betydelse som länk mellan Elias Martin och senare svenska friluftsmålare, och om hans akvareller och teckningar, skriver Viggo Loos: "I hans akvareller och utkast från engelska, irländska och franska hamnstäder möter man en känslighet i skildringen av lufttonerna, som gör att Berger intar en framskjuten plats i vårt 1800-tals förimpressionism. De flesta har tillkommit, medan intrycken av Turner och de engelska akvarellmålarna, såsom Cotman och Sandby, ännu var levande. [.] Hans plats i 1800-talets konsthistoria framstår klarast i de akvareller och studier, där han under engelskt inflytande når fram till en omedelbar naturiakttagelse och en målarkultur, som kan räknas till det märkligaste i hans samtid." Akvarell. Osignerad och odaterad. 19 × 26,5 cm. Monterad på ett större blad, med påskrift: "Vue på Dublins Rivier / ritad af Berger / och skänkt till A. Retzius / i juli år 1843". Proveniens: Anders Retzius (1796-1860), i arv till hans son Gustaf. Ingick i dennes donation till Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien 1919. Avyttrad 2013 tillsammans med andra föremål ur donationen. - - - Ej inramad. Monterad i syrafri passepartout (bomullskartong) med yttermått 40 x 50 cm som passar standardramar. Fotograferad i en ekram från Stockholm ram.
