Last year while we had a painting course in Dalarna we visited the Museum of Anders Zorn who played a huge role in the culture of Sweden. Apart from his amazing painting he collected art and supported all kinds of craft from the Swedish villages. I was impressed by his house-museum where everything was kept as if the master was there. But I would like to attract your attention to his watercolors, of course...!

Anders Zorn is considered as one of the most significant artists of his time (internationally). His freely painted watercolours are masterly! The way he painted water - both in watercolour ond oil - is brilliant. His works can be seen, e.g., at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Anders Zorn is one of my favourites, too.
