Eva Bagge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eva Bagge (1901)

Eva Bagge (1871–1964) was a Swedish painter who studied first in Sweden and then made study trips to Rome and Paris. Remembered in particular for her farm scenes and interiors, she did not reach her peak until 1941 when works based on her approach to late 19th-century Realism attracted attention at her solo exhibition in a Stockholm gallery. Such was the interest that they were soon exhibited in Munich and Berlin. Several Swedish art museums, including Stockholm's Nationalmuseum, have works by Bagge in their collections.[1][2][3]

Biography[]

Born on 15 December 1871 in Stockholm, Eva Bagge was the daughter of the printing press director Per Olof Bagge (1833–1872) and his wife Henrika Ottiliana née von Fieandt. She was the youngest of the family's three children.[4] After her father died when she was still a baby, she was brought up by her mother in Stockholm. From 1892 to 1895, she studied at the Art Academy under Georg von Rosen and Gustaf Cederström. Not happy with the emphasis on historical painting at the Academy, after spending a short period at the Artists' Association School, in 1896 she took a study trip to Rome and the following year moved to Paris where she attended the Académie Colarossi and spent the following summer in Brittany.[2] She then returned to Stockholm to complete her studies at the Artists' Association School.[1]

Bagge continued to make trips abroad, painting farms, interiors and portraits. Her works included New Year's Eve and From Brittany (1897), Evening at Drottingholm (1911), and Morning in the Atelier (1943). She reached her peak in 1941 aged 70 when works based on her approach to late 19th-century Realism attracted attention at her solo exhibition in a Stockholm gallery. Such was the interest that they were soon exhibited in Munich and Berlin.[1]

Eva Bagge died in Stockholm on 6 November 1964. Several Swedish art museums, including Stockholm's Nationalmuseum, have works by Bagge in their collections.[1]
