Carl and Karin Larsson’s Lilla Hyttnäs. Sundborn, Sweden. Karin’s father, Adolf Bergöö, gave Lilla Hyttnäs to Carl and Karin in 1888. Throughout the years they, with their 8 children, transformed the little cottage into one of the world’s best known and decorated artist’s homes. The house was originally built in 1837. The home still remains in the Carl and Karin Larsson Family Trust.

One of my absolute favourite artists for today’s art appreciation: Carl Larsson.

Carl Larsson (1853-1919) was a Swedish painter who is best known for his bold, illustrative watercolours. Although he did also work in oils and even painted several frescoes, people responded much more strongly to his simpler pieces (often to Larsson’s chagrin). His work is notable for its clean lines, bright hues, and - above all - for its lively depiction of family life. His main models for his work were his wife, Karin, and their eight children, which certainly suited him. The clear affection Larsson felt for his family shines through each piece. The result is warm, cheery paintings that make you want to be in the scene with them.
