About the Item

Olof Per Ulrik Arborelius, born November 4, 1842 in Orsa, died June 2, 1915 in Stockholm, was a Swedish folk life and landscape painter and professor at the Art Academy in Stockholm 1902–1909. ​ After seven years of study at the Art Academy, Arborelius went on a three-year study tour in Europe. When he returned to Sweden in 1872, he was appointed agré at the Art Academy. For a few years he worked as a senior teacher there and at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. In 1902 he was appointed professor at the Academy of Arts. Olof Arborelius was shaped by Swedish genre painting in the 1860s and was closely associated with the Düsseldorf school. He did join the opposition movement early on in the 1880s but was very little influenced by impressionist painting. In the choice of motifs, however, he adopted the free realism of his opponents. In later years, he developed ever clearer colors and a greater monumentality in the compositions like in this oiece from Capril. Characteristic of his works are folk life motifs from his home village in Dalarna and motifs from Europe are quite rare. Arborelius is represented in several public collections, including the National Museum, Gothenburg Art Museum, Örebro County Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, Athenaeum in Helsinki, Upplandsmuseet, Uppsala University Library and the Nordic Museum.
