Anders Zorn

1860-1920     Sweden

Image of Anders Zorn

Anders Zorn, one of Sweden's most celebrated artists, was known for his mastery in capturing light and movement. His paintings, while clearly impressionistic, often had a realist touch. Zorn was equally skilled in oil, watercolor, and etching, and his depictions of Swedish folk life, along with his portraits of international figures, made him famous both in Sweden and abroad.

What stands out in Zorn’s work is his ability to convey warmth and intimacy, often through everyday scenes and nudes. His nudes, typically set in natural, unembellished surroundings, capture the human body in a candid and unpretentious way, as part of the landscape itself. Whether bathing in a lake or resting by a fire, these figures feel real, rooted in daily life.
