Anders Leonard Zorn (18 February 1860 – 22
August 1920) was one of Sweden's foremost
artists. He obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and
etcher. From 1875 to 1880 Zorn studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of
Arts in Stockholm. Members of Stockholm society approached him with commissions.
Zorn traveled extensively to London, Paris, the Balkans, Spain, Italy and the
United States, becoming an international success as one of the most acclaimed
painters of his era. It was primarily his skill as a portrait painter that
gained Zorn international acclaim based principally upon his incisive ability
to depict the individual character of his model. At 29, he was made a Chevalier
de la Légion d'honneur at the Exposition Universelle 1889 Paris World
Fair. More Anders
