"The darkness of evening creates a sense of atmosphere in paintings such as Kring aftonlampan (Around the Lamp, 1900) and God natt (Good Night, 1894), in which the family dinner table and the ritual of going to bed have become artistic motifs. Domesticity was combined with the artistic life throughout both day and night and everyone who spent time in the home was depicted: guests, family members and the artist’s models."
