Biography[]

Hanna Mathilda Winge was born in Gothenburg, Sweden. She was the daughter of blacksmith Johan Thimotheus Tengelin and Anna Maria Hultman, and married the artist Mårten Eskil Winge (1825-1896) in 1867.

Hanna Winge was a student at J. J. Ringdahls målarskola (J.J. Ringdahl Art School) in Stockholm in 1859, and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1864-67, and the student of Johan Christoffer Boklund (1817-1880).^[1]

Together with Sophie Adlersparre (1823-1895) and Molly Rohtlieb (1836-1914), Hanna Winge was the co-founder of the association Friends of Handicraft (Handarbetets vänner) which was founded in 1874 with the purpose of the development and refinement of Swedish textile art. She was the leading force of the association and was inspired by older textile art. She became known for her design in the Old Norse (Fornnordiska) style, such as embroidery inspired by Viking Era patterns with dragon loops for embroidery. Her style inspired the revival of the Old Norse style within art which was also demonstrated in her design of the villa in Lysekil of physician Carl Curman (1833-1913) in 1878, for which she and her spouse were engaged as decorators. Another area in which her style was displayed was in church textiles, where it spread after her design of an altar cloth at Uppsala Cathedral in 1882.^[2][3][4]

She participated in several exhibitions between 1860 and 1885 and was represented as a textile artist at the Art and Industry Exhibition at Copenhagen in 1872 and the Art Exhibition at Vienna in 1873. She designed a reform dress for the Swedish Dress Reform Association.

She died during 1896 in Gothenburg.
