Description
English: There is a great commotion on Blasieholmen around the departing steamboats. The scene is remarkably bright - but the light does not appear to come from the gaslights that were still common in Stockholm, but from electric arc lights, judging by its intensity and lofty position. At the time of this painting, arc lighting had been introduced at the quays of Stockholm. The Canadian artist Bruce usually devoted himself to painting different kinds of daylight. Here, however, the electric light – the emblem of modernity – captured his attention.
Svenska: På Blasieholmen är trängseln stor framför de ångbåtar som just ska lägga ut. Scenen framträder i ett påfallande starkt ljus – men inte från det gasljus som ännu dominerade i Stockholm. Ljusets styrka och höga placering vittnar istället om den tidiga form av elektrisk utomhusbelysning – så kallat bågljus – som vid denna tid hade börjat användas på stadens kajer. Kanadensaren Bruce ägnade sig i sitt måleri vanligen åt dagsljusets skiftningar. Men här har alltså det elektriska ljuset – den moderna tidens signum – fångat hans intresse.
