Omnibus by Anders Zorn
<p>In this episode we talk about Anders Zorn and his painting "Omnibus I" which is in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Zorn is a very interesting artist, not least because of artistic entrepreneurship in the early industrial society: he was born out of wedlock to a single mother in Dalecarlia and died as one of the wealthiest men in Sweden. In between lies a career that stands out through wise business decisions and the ability to adapt to different markets.</p><br><p>This painting is one of the works that became Zorn's ticket to a successful career on the other side of the Atlantic. The motif of passengers on the omnibus in Paris was painted in two versions and was also been distributed in the form of graphic sheets. The first version is nowadays at the National Museum in Stockholm. The second version was shown at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 and was sold to the American art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner from Boston, where it is still part of the museum collection.</p><br><p>Join us in the fascinating story, that brings us to 19th century Paris, learn more about this painting from Montmartre and how Anders Zorn established his career in the United States. </p><br><p>You can find the image on our instagram account @scandinavianartpodcast</p><br><p>This podcast is presented in collaboration with the University of Gothenburg and the Gustaf Adolf Bratt Foundation's lecture fund.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Nordic Summer Evening by Richard Bergh
<p>Finally - our first episode is out! We talk about the famous oil painting ”Nordic summer evening" (1899-1900) by the Swedish artist Richard Bergh. It is one of the most well-known Swedish works of art in the world, not least because of ”The Northern Light” exhibition that toured throughout North America in the 1980’s. </p><br><p>This painting is iconic in Scandinavia and as a work from the era of National Romanticism it became symbolic for Sweden. But how Swedish is the Northern light and the style of the painting? How come the woman in the painting posed in Assisi in Italy, and the man in the archipelago of Stockholm? </p><br><p>We also talk about the depicted couple in the painting: Karin Pyk who was an internationally known singer and the artist and prince Eugen of Sweden. We will tell you why the woman in the painting felt she had to leave the country when the painting was first exhibited in Stockholm in 1901. </p><br><p>Listen to this episode and get answers to all your questions... </p><br><p>Follow our instagram account @scandinavianartpodcast for images and more information.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
