Artwork description by Nationalmuseum Stockholm (© Copyright - by Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: In his poem ‘The Esplanade System’, from 1883, August Strindberg describes how a modern Stockholm was emerging at that time, with old houses being torn down ‘for light and air’. Schultzberg’s painting s a commentary on the same process. With razor-sharp realism he records the demolition of the old orphanage, meticulously capturing he early spring light, the many nuances of the gravel and rocks, and the clouds of dust. The subject of the painting is the gap left by the building, or rather, the light and air in this empty space. 1880-talet brukar beskrivas som realismens decennium i svensk konst. Många konstnärer arbetade nu med vardagliga motiv som de framställde utan idealisering. Det blev populärt att skildra kroppsarbetande människors tillvaro. Bilder av jordbruksarbetare och fiskare blev vanliga, men också bilder av människor som tillhörde den nya arbetarklassen i städerna. Schultzbergs bild av rivningsarbete i Stockholm är typisk för 1880-talsrealismen. Konstnären har valt ett motiv som knappast kan uppfattas som vackert i traditionell mening. Schultzberg har lagt ned stor möda på att skildra den tidiga vårens skarpa dagsljus, och de fint nyanserade valörerna i grus och stenar och dammet som yr. De svenska konstnärerna mötte den konstnärliga realismen i Paris, dit många unga nordiska konstnärer reste för att studera och arbeta under 1870- och 1880-talen. Schultzberg hade emellertid ännu inte varit i Frankrike då han målade Rivningen av gamla Barnhuset. Han utförde målningen under sitt sista år vid Konstakademien i Stockholm och ställde ut den på akademiens elevutställning 1886. Den franska realismen hade dock redan introducerats i Stockholm, och Schultzberg hade säkert tagit intryck av de svenska realister som visade målningar de utfört i Frankrike på utställningar i Stockholm i mitten av 1880-talet.
