Carl Larsson painted the Swedish domestic dream - light-filled rooms, children at play, a wife arranging flowers - and the watercolors became blueprints for how a northern home should feel. The world still borrows his palette.

About this person

Born in Stockholm on 28 May 1853, Larsson worked across oils, watercolors, and frescoes as the Arts and Crafts movement took root in Scandinavia. His reputation rests on those idyllic family scenes, intimate and sun-soaked, that turned his own household into a visual manifesto. But he kept a different ambition: Midvinterblot, a large historical canvas depicting ancient sacrifice, which he considered his finest achievement. It hangs now in the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts. He died on 22 January 1919.
