.-Nationalmuseum opened its major exhibition about the Swedish artist Anders Zorn. Visitors to the exhibition can experience the enormous breadth of his artistry. From watercolour portraits painted in London to the most famous motifs from Dalarö, via Paris and the USA and finally back to Mora in Sweden.
Anders Zorn is one of Swedens best-known artists. His life and career have few equivalents in Swedish art history. From a relatively simple upbringing in Dalarna, Zorn made his way out into the world with an almost improbable ability to suddenly find himself deep inside various power circles. He infiltrated the financial elite of the USA, the cultural elite of Paris, and London society, to name but a few examples. Zorns artistry is set apart by his exceptional skill in various techniques watercolour, oil painting, etching and sculpture. The exhibition at Nat
