“Maria Stuart” by Olav Strømme

Nordic Expressionism – “Maria Stuart” by Olav Strømme – Signed 25.5 x 22.5 cm (10" x 8.9")

A haunting and introspective portrait, Maria Stuart by Norwegian artist Olav Strømme channels the emotional gravity of its historical namesake through abstracted form and muted palette. Painted in oil on canvas, the work evokes a sense of regal melancholy—perhaps a meditation on fate, dignity, and solitude. Strømme’s style, often rooted in expressionist distortion and psychological depth, lends this small-scale canvas a powerful presence.
