Larger than life oils by Swedish painter Julius Kronberg. Living from 1850 to 1921 he was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting and taught at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Painted other things that are far more suitable for great aunts needing gifts but I think these are more fun.

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
