Swedish Superstar: The Shimmering World of Anders Zorn

From the stillness of Nordic lakes to the glittering world of high society, Anders Zorn painted with a brilliance that made light, water and flesh come alive.

Born in the rural province of Dalarna, he moved effortlessly between sunlit bathing scenes, candlelit interiors and the opulent worlds of his international clientele.

Figures wade through cool water, silk catches the light and faces emerge from shadows with startling immediacy.

A fascinating figure in his own right, Zorn was also a passionate collector and a champion of Swedish traditions – a man as compelling as the world he painted.
