Yellow House in Provence
Artist: Eva Holmberg-Jacobsson,
Medium: Acrylic on Panel, dated -78
Dimensions: 16” x 19”
The work captures a sunlit Provençal landscape from the perspective of someone standing on a road or path, looking toward the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole—the same institution where Vincent van Gogh lived and painted The Starry Night nearly a century earlier. Holmberg employs a post-impressionist, expressive style with visible, tactile brushwork. Colors are intense and contrasting—acid yellows, fiery reds, deep greens—yet harmonized by the unifying warmth of Mediterranean light. The paint is applied in thick, gestural layers, especially in the trees and bushes, giving the surface a lively, almost three-dimensional texture. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, prioritizing mood over realism. Holmberg employs a post-impressionist, expressive style with visible, tactile brushwork.
The painting radiates quiet joy and sun-drenched serenity. Holmberg’s vision is calm and luminous. The bright colors and open composition evoke a sense of peace, nostalgia, and deep connection to the Provençal landscape. The cypress—symbol of eternity—remains, but here it stands in daylight, grounded and alive.
About the Artist: Eva Holmberg-Jacobsson was a Swedish visual artist born in Malmö. She painted naive scenery and interiors in a lively color palette. She studied at the Skåne School of Painting in Malmö in 1927 and at the Otte Sköld painter's school in Stockholm in 1929 and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris.
This piece is in very good condition, consistent with its vintage age, with no obvious signs of wear. All artwork is sold as found, and we always carefully photograph and highlight any notable signs of age.
