Swedish, 1862–1915
Eugène Jansson was a Swedish painter known for his evocative depictions of the Swedish landscape and urban scenes, particularly in Stockholm. He was born on December 24, 1862, in Stockholm, Sweden, and died on January 15, 1915. Jansson studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and was influenced by the Symbolist movement, which is evident in his use of color and light. His works often feature nocturnal scenes and the interplay of light and shadow, creating a dreamlike quality. Major works include 'Night in Stockholm' and 'The Blue Hour.' Jansson is significant for his contributions to Swedish art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bridging the gap between realism and modernism.
