Spanish Village by Åke Wilhelm Andersson

Åke Wilhelm Andersson (1914–1983)
Spanish Village (1952)

Oil on paper 
 
This evocative oil painting by Swedish artist Åke Wilhelm Andersson presents a sunlit view of a Spanish village, captured during a period when Scandinavian artists were increasingly inspired by Mediterranean light and culture. Painted in 1952 and signed “AWA,” the piece combines structured architecture with expressive brushwork, offering both clarity and movement.
 
The warm palette of ochres, whites, and soft blues brings a sense of atmosphere and place, reflecting the contrast between sunlit walls and shaded alleys.
