Welcome to the town of Mora, famous for Dala horses, Swedish history – and the versatile painter Anders Zorn (1860–1920).
Famous for his portraits and nude studies, Zorn was a master at capturing light, atmosphere and movement, both in oil and watercolour. He also worked in etching and sculpture.
🎨 Did you know that Zorn often used a very limited colour palette?
