More information

”Carl Larsson påbörjade detta arbete hösten 1891. Det är när Carl Larsson är lärare på Valands konstskola i Göteborg, som han åtar sig detta illustrationsarbete för att dryga ut de i övrigt magra inkomsterna. Den 14 november 1891 skriver Karin från Göteborg till sin mor i Stockholm och berättar: ’Så har jag fått sytt kostymer åt Carl. Han har nämligen fått beställning från Tyskland att illustrera Schillers Kabal och kärlek och till det stå både Edla och jag modell, hon om f.m. och jag om kvällarna, och ibland få vi gå båda, så att Thilda blir ensam hemma.’ (Edla och Thilda hjälpte till med hushållet och barnen [4 st.] i den Larssonska familjen.) Av ett brev daterat den 5 maj 1892 från Carl Larsson i Berlin till Karin i Sundborn får man veta följande: ’Hos Bong voro vi idag och der fick jag mina 500 Mark, men mina titelvignetter blefvo stukade. Gudbevars tockna nöt de äro dessa tyskar.’ Enligt uppgift i katalogen för Carl Larssons Minnesutställning på Liljevalchs konsthall år 1953 ägdes ’Tre originalillustrationer av Disponent Axel Persson, Halmstad. Återstoden i Göteborgs Stadsteaters ägo.’”

More about Carl Larsson

Carl Larsson is considered one of the greatest Swedish artists of all time. He was born in Gamla Stan in Stockholm and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in the years 1866-76. After his studies in Stockholm, he traveled to France and settled in Grèz-sur-Loing. There he mainly painted garden motifs. In France, he met his future wife Karin Bergöö, who was also an artist and came to mean a lot for his artistry. Already during his student years, he made a living as a photo retoucher and cartoonist in the press. It was also during his studies that Larsson got to know Anders Zorn and Bruno Liljefors, together the three are usually called the ABC artists. At the end of the 1880s, Carl and Karin were given "Lilla Hyttnäs" in Sundborn outside Falun by Karin's father, and this is where Larsson's most famous watercolors depicting his family were created. The motifs often depict sunny landscapes with children, crayfish fishing, meals in the green and interior scenes. Larsson is represented, among other, in the National Museum, where "Gustav Vasas intåg i Stockholm" and "Midvinterblot" fills the stairwell. Represented mainly at the National Museum in Stockholm and at the Gothenburg Art Museum.
