Bruno Liljefors - Pioneer of International Wildlife Art

When discussing the golden age of Swedish art, attention often turns to Carl Larsson's idyllic domestic scenes or Anders Zorn's virtuoso handling of light on water and in valleys. Bruno Liljefors (1860–1939) moved in the same circles, but his art took a different path. He did more than reshape Swedish landscape painting – he laid the foundations for an international genre that would later be known as wildlife art. By combining scientific observation with an Impressionist approach to paint, he shifted the subject away from the arranged props of the studio and out into the actual ecosystems of the wild.
