Anna Munthe-Norstedt

Anna Katarina Fredrika Munthe-Norstedt (28 July 1854 – 17 April 1936) was a Swedish painter known for still-lifes and interiors.

She was the daughter of the pharmacist Martin Arnold Fredrik Munthe (1816-1877) and his second wife Louisa Aurora Ugarsky (died 1878).

With her father's support, she enrolled at the Swedish Craft Association's School (Svenska Slöjdföreningens skola).

[6] She then became a student of Mårten Eskil Winge at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts from 1871 to 1875.

She was especially influenced by the works of the Dutch Master Jan Davidszoon de Heem, which she saw at the Louvre.

Following the establishment of an association of artists (Konstnärsförbundet) opposed to the practices of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, she and her husband originally supported them.
