Summary

The Vine can be interpreted as a light-hearted allegory of love – the woman harvests the grapes for the wine that intoxicates the man. With his great technical virtuosity, Carl Larsson was excellently equipped to succeed in the Neo-Rococo genre, which relied to a great extent on the ability to paint with illusory brilliance. The Vine was bought by Herman Friedländer when it was shown at the Opponent Exhibition Vid Seinens strand (On the Seine River Bank) in Stockholm in 1885. Friedländer later lent it to the World’s Fair in Paris in 1889. Svenska: Vinet kan tolkas som en lättsam kärleksallegori – kvinnan skördar druvorna som blir till vinet mannen berusar sig på. Med sin stora tekniska skicklighet hade Carl Larsson utmärkta förutsättningar att lyckas i nyrokokogenren som i mycket byggde på förmågan att måla med illusorisk briljans. Vinet köptes av Herman Friedländer när den visades på Opponentutställningen Vid Seinens strand i Stockholm 1885. Friedländer lånade senare ut den till Världsutställningen i Paris 1889.

Carl Larsson (1853–1919) was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolors, and frescoes. He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large painting now displayed inside the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.
