Because of the significant time he spent in France, Italy, Spain, England, India, Egypt, and Norway, the worldliness of this Swedish artist sets him apart from all others. Trained in the tradition of the English landscape painters, Lundgren (1815-75) was known predominantly for his watercolors set in exotic locales. Various essays focus on his experiences in each of these countries, especially his time as a reporter on the war in India and as an illustrator for Queen Victoria of England. Also included is a complete numbered catalog of his works displayed in the exhibition. This book is in Swedish except the essay by Delia Millar: Watercolours Painted by Egron Lundgren for Queen Victoria’s Theatrical Album.
