"Sunshine, Kalvaya" (Norwegian: "Solskin, Kalvøy") is an oil painting by the Norwegian artist Eilif Peterssen, created in 1886. The painting is notable for its depiction of the serene and idyllic landscape of Kalvøy, an island in the Oslofjord, Norway. Peterssen, a prominent figure in Norwegian art history, was known for his ability to capture the unique Nordic light and the tranquility of the Norwegian countryside.

The artwork reflects Peterssen's interest in naturalism and plein air painting, a style that involves painting outdoors to capture the changing qualities of natural light and atmosphere. "Sunshine, Kalvaya" is characterized by its luminous palette, with soft, warm tones that evoke the gentle sunlight of a Scandinavian summer day. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a clear emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow, which was a central theme in Peterssen's work.

Eilif Peterssen (1852–1928) studied under various notable artists in Oslo (then Christiania), Karlsruhe, and Munich, and was influenced by the works of the French Impressionists. His travels across Europe, including time spent in Paris, further shaped his artistic style. "Sunshine, Kalvaya" is a testament to Peterssen's mature period, where he combined his technical skill with a poetic interpretation of the landscape.

The painting is considered an important work within Peterssen's oeuvre and within the context of Norwegian art of the late 19th century. It is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of the national romantic movement that sought to capture the essence of the Norwegian identity through its natural landscapes. "Sunshine, Kalvaya" remains an enduring piece of Norway's cultural heritage and continues to be appreciated for its beauty and historical significance.
