Olof Sager-Nelson (1868–1896) was a Swedish artist known for his Symbolist and Post-Impressionist works. After unsuccessful studies at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, he chose to train as an artist. He spent much of his career in France and Belgium, where he was influenced by the Symbolist movement as well as Gauguin and Bernard's Synthetism. Sager-Nelson's portraits and landscapes often blend symbolism and emotional depth with modernist techniques. Sager-Nelson died at just 27 years old, but despite this, he is recognized today as one of Sweden's early great modernist painters. His works are preserved in prominent Scandinavian art collections.
