Carl Larsson is one of Sweden’s best-loved artists. The watercolours of his home and his family from the end of the nineteenth century are widely acclaimed as one of the richest records of life at that time. The paintings in this book depict the farm of Spadarvet in Sundborn, in west Sweden, which Carl Larsson bought in 1897. The accompanying text provides a fascinating insight into farm life, and into Larsson’s painting techniques.

However, his life was marred by illness, though he continued his work while battling syphilis, hallucinations, and schizophrenia. This beautiful book is the most comprehensive work yet to be published on the life and works of Ernst Josephson.�

Lundberg was a young portrait painter, who left Sweden during the difficult years at the end of Charles XII:s reign but returned in 1745 . He became an immediate and lasting success and evenutally became a Court painter. In this, the first monograph on Lundberg since 1902, the authors deal with Lundberg’s artistic development and studio practices as well as his career strategies, particularly in Paris where the competition among the pastel painters was very keen. His Swedish career and the portrait types he created are discussed in relation to the ideological, social and political tensions of the times, as well as the stylistic and thematic influences from French literary, philosophical and artistic developments. The circumstances of his life and contempoary evaluations of his work are also taken as a starting point of a discussion of the Swedish art scene and market, as well as the artist’s role in Swedish society during the 18th century.

Liljefors (1860-1939) was a Swedish artist, the most important and probably the most influential wildlife painter of the late 19th and early 20th century. All his life he was a hunter, and he often painted predator-prey action, for example fox-hare, sea eagle-eider, goshak-black goose. However, he never exaggerated the ferocity of the predator or the pathos of the prey, depicting with sensitivity and accuracy the birds and animals of his native Sweden in their natural habitats. His paintings feature in the background the flora, the marshes, the lakes, the sea, and the woodlands of Sweden, although the focus is always on the animals. This book shows the greatness of Liljefors and his ability to show animals in their environment.

Rembrandt (1606-69) is one of the greatest narrrative talents within art history. His highly unusual ability to depict human beings in a wide range of states of mind and dramatic stagings soon gave him the moniker “painter of souls”. In his biblical scenes as well as in his many portraits and self-portraits, Rembrandt imbued his paintings and prints with a life and immediacy without parallel in his own day - and since. The exhibition provides wide -ranging insights into Rembrandt’s imagery and a highly remarkable course of artistic development.
