Afton is a notable painting by the Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Hill, created during the late 19th century. Hill, born in 1849, is recognized as one of Sweden's most significant landscape painters, and his work often reflects the profound influence of the French Barbizon school, which emphasized naturalistic and atmospheric depictions of rural scenes. Afton, which translates to "Evening" in English, is emblematic of Hill's mature style, characterized by its evocative use of light and shadow to capture the tranquil and contemplative mood of the evening landscape.

The painting showcases Hill's masterful ability to convey the subtleties of natural light, with a particular focus on the soft, diffused glow of the setting sun. This period of Hill's career was marked by a deepening exploration of mood and atmosphere, moving away from the more detailed and precise renderings of his earlier works. In Afton, Hill employs a more impressionistic approach, using broad, expressive brushstrokes to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy.

Hill's personal life and mental health struggles also add a poignant layer to the interpretation of Afton. In 1878, Hill suffered a severe mental breakdown, which led to his institutionalization and a significant shift in his artistic output. Despite these challenges, his earlier works, including Afton, continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and technical proficiency.

Afton remains an important piece within Hill's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic evolution and his enduring legacy in the realm of landscape painting. The painting is held in high regard not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its ability to evoke the serene and fleeting beauty of the evening, a testament to Hill's profound connection with the natural world.
