Anders Leonard Zorn was born and raised on his grandparents' farm in Yvraden, near the village of Utmeland in Mora, Dalarna. After his early education at Mora Strand and secondary grammar school in Enköping, Zorn's prodigious talent led him to the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm in 1875. There, his exceptional abilities quickly garnered the attention of the Stockholm Society, resulting in numerous commissions.
In 1881, Zorn met Emma Lamm, a woman from a wealthy Jewish merchant family. Despite their different backgrounds, they shared a deep appreciation for art and culture. After a long engagement, they married in October 1885. Together, they traveled extensively, with Zorn working in London, Paris, the Balkans, Spain, Italy, and the United States. His time in Paris during the 1890s, particularly his friendship with Finn Albert Edelfelt, was pivotal in his artistic development.
Zorn's portraits, known for capturing the individual character of his subjects, brought him international fame. His illustrious sitters included King Oscar II of Sweden and three American Presidents: Grover Cleveland, William H. Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt. At 29, Zorn was honored as a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur at the 1889 Paris World Fair.
Beyond portraits, Zorn's work encompassed a diverse range of subjects and media. He began with luminous watercolors before firmly transitioning to oils by 1887. His paintings, known for their vibrant interplay of warm and cool tones, masterfully depicted the human form, rustic life, and natural scenes, particularly his remarkable renderings of water.
Zorn's success allowed him to amass a significant art collection, which he and Emma bequeathed to the Swedish State. Today, his masterpieces are showcased in prominent museums such as the National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The Zorn Collections, comprising four museums in Mora and Garberg, Älvdalen, include Zornmuseet, which displays his works alongside art by Rembrandt, Poussin's follower 'The Hovingham Master,' Bruno Liljefors, Albert Edelfelt, and Pehr Hilleström. Zorngården, their residence and smallholding, remains a testament to early 20th-century architecture, blending English and Swedish influences.
Zorn's legacy extends beyond visual art. He and Emma established the Bellman Prize in 1920, awarded annually by the Swedish Academy to outstanding Swedish poets.

    Whether rendered in photographic reality, bucolic blotchiness or black ink lines, one gets the feeling that one would immediately recognise every individual if one met them in real life.

    From the composition, framing and poses of the figures, it looks very much like Zorn may have used photography after all. Some of the poses look very "candid," and if he did not use photography at all, that would make him an even greater talent. But even with the help of photography, few would be able to imitate him, I'm afraid. Magnifique. ThX for sharing.

    Hiding paintings from you...not sharing what makes them great.. Always moving, so you never know what the actual composition is...as though that does not matter at all; the artists would be horrified at what he has done to their paintings.
