About Freja

The artwork titled “Freja” by John Bauer, created in 1905, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is characterized as a mythological painting. This piece exemplifies the stylistic elements and thematic inclinations prevalent during that period.

The artwork portrays a seated female figure with long, flowing blonde hair that cascades down her body, partially covering her nudity, embodying a sense of ethereal beauty and tranquility. The figure’s serene expression and posture, combined with the muted, earthy color palette, evoke a timeless, otherworldly atmosphere. The background is minimalist, with soft, cloudy forms that subtly frame the figure, enhancing the mystical and serene quality of the composition. The simplicity and elegance of the scene are indicative of Bauer’s skillful use of line and form, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.
