EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a self-portrait of the renowned Swedish artist, Egron Sellif Lundgren (1815-1875). Born on February 18, 1815, in Stockholm, Lundgren was a significant figure in Swedish art history, known for his mastery of historical painting, portraits, and landscapes. Lundgren's artistic journey began at an early age, as he studied under the tutelage of renowned Swedish painter, Johan Gustaf Sandberg. He continued his education in Dresden, Germany, where he honed his skills under the guidance of German painter, Wilhelm Tschaggeny. Upon his return to Sweden, Lundgren quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent. He was appointed as a professor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1848 and went on to become its director in 1866. This self-portrait, painted in the mid-19th century, captures Lundgren in the prime of his career. He wears a formal attire, with a serious expression, and a thoughtful gaze that speaks volumes about his dedication and passion for art. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered textures of his clothing and the subtle shading of his face. Lundgren's legacy extended beyond his own art, as he played a pivotal role in promoting Swedish art and culture. He was a founding member of the Stockholm Art Society and helped establish the National Museum in Stockholm. This print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable artist who left an indelible mark on Swedish art history. Lundgren's self-portrait is a testament to his artistic prowess and his enduring contribution to the world of art.
