ANDERS ZORN

The virtuosos of the canvas

An episode from the series GREAT PAINTERS

Synopsis

Born into modest circumstances, Anders Zorn became one of the most famous Swedish painters of his time and a portraitist highly sought after by the European and American aristocracy.

A virtuoso painter, watercolorist, and engraver, he developed a strikingly realistic style, capable of capturing light, movement, and scenes of everyday life with equal intensity.

Fascinated by water, light, and the female form, Zorn left behind a powerful and sensual body of work spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
