Carl Larsson (1853–1919) was a Swedish painter renowned for his idyllic depictions of domestic life, family, and Swedish countryside scenes. Born into poverty in Stockholm, Larsson’s artistic talent was evident early on, leading him to study at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. His breakthrough came when he moved to the artists' colony of Grez-sur-Loing in France, where he met his wife, Karin Bergöö, who also became a key influence on his work. Larsson’s most famous paintings are characterized by their bright, light-filled scenes of family life, often set in his home in Sundborn, Sweden. His home itself became a symbol of Swedish design, blending traditional and modern styles. He captured everyday moments with his children and wife in cozy interiors, gardens, and natural landscapes, emphasizing simplicity, warmth, and a sense of togetherness. Working mainly in watercolors, Larsson’s style is detailed yet fluid, embodying a harmonious blend of Art Nouveau and traditional Swedish folk art. His illustrated books, such as *"A Home"*, helped popularize his work and shaped Swedish national identity. Today, Carl Larsson is celebrated as one of Sweden’s most beloved artists, leaving a lasting legacy in Scandinavian art and culture.
