Biography[]

Emma Josepha Sparre née Munktell was born at Grycksbo in Dalarna County, Sweden.[2] She was the daughter of Henrik Munktell (1804–1861) and Christina Augusta Eggertz (1818–1889).[3] She was the sister of composer Helena Munktell (1852–1919).[4]

She was married to fellow artist Baron Carl Axel Ambjörn Sparre (1839–1910) from 1870 to 1891.[5] They had a daughter, Märta Améen (1871–1940) who was also a painter.[6][7][8]

She attended the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm and was trained privately by August Malmström. She later studied in Düsseldorf and Rome. She also trained Paris with painters Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret and Gustave Courtois at Académie Colarossi.

Sparre exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[9] She also exhibited at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, where she received an honorable mention.[10]

She returned to Sweden in the 1890s. Sparre died in 1913 in Rättvik in Dalarna County, Sweden.[2]

Her work is in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.[5]
