Ernst Josephson

1851-1906     Sweden

Image of Ernst Josephson

⁤Ernst Josephson (1851-1906) was born in Stockholm and trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, he also absorbed contemporary influences during his time in Paris. ⁤⁤Josephson's art evolved from Realism to later incorporate Symbolist and Expressionist elements with emotional depth, often exploring Swedish folklore and mythology. ⁤

⁤In the later part of his life, he suffered from psychological illness, which impacted his artistic style and contributed to what would later be labeled as "sjukdomskonst" (or "illness art"). ⁤⁤This period saw a shift towards a more spontaneous, less constrained form of expression, leading to works that were raw, powerful, and deeply personal. ⁤⁤These artworks provide insight to the artist's internal struggles and are considered significant in the context of modern Swedish art. ⁤⁤Josephson's legacy is not only in his thematic and stylistic contributions but also in how his personal challenges influenced and reshaped his artistic vision.
