Description
-- Stunning watercolour paintings by one of Sweden's best-loved artists
-- Fascinating insight into Swedish rural and artistic life in the late nineteenth century
-- Accompanied by an explanatory text giving more detail about his life and techniques
Carl Larsson is one of Sweden's best-loved artists. His stunning watercolours of his home and family from the end of the nineteenth century are acclaimed as one of the richest records of life at that time.
The paintings in this book are a combined collection which depict Larsson's family -- his wife Karin and their eight children -- his home in the village of Sundborn, and his farm, Spadarvet. The accompanying text provides a fascinating insight into Larsson family and farm life, and his painting techniques.
Today, over 60,000 tourists a year visit Sundborn to admire Larsson's home and work.
Also published as three separate volumes: A Home, A Family, and A Farm.
