Anna Palm

[thewondermentofillustration]

P.S. Krøyer - Anna Palm, 1884, oil on canvas Anna Sofia Palm de Rosa (1859 – 1924) was a prominent Swedish watercolour painter. She enjoyed painting steamers, sailing ships and views of Stockholm and the Bohuslän archipelago. Anna was educated privately by her father Gustaf Wilhelm Palm, a portrait and history painter and an art teacher. Many artist friends visited the family household including Nils Kreuger, Gustaf Cederström, Georg Pauli and Vicke Andrén. Despite her talent, Anna was not able to study at the Royal Academy because she was a woman. However, in 1880, she received lessons from the history painter Edvard Perséus and the landscape painter Per Daniel Holm. During the summer of 1885, Anna visited an artist colony in Skagen, a remote fishing town in the north of Denmark. In 1895, at the age of 36, Anna left Sweden to spend a year in Paris, before moving to southern Italy. There, she married an infantry soldier, Lieutenant Alfredo de Rosa. While her husband was serving in the First World War, Anna travelled to the ancient Roman town of Baiae, where she painted marine subjects.
