Anna Nordlander

Anna Catharina Nordlander (28 October 1843 – 26 February 1879), was a Swedish painter.

She is known for her portraits and her depictions of genre- nature- and folk life: she is also counted as a pioneer in the illustration of the lives of the Forest Sami (Skogssamar) of northern Sweden.

She studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts (1866) under Jean-François Portaels in Brussels and at the Académie Julian in Paris.

[1] Museum Anna Nordlander (MAN) in Skellefteå, founded in 1995, is named in her honor.

These are permanently on display at Stiftsgården Skellefteå in the building where Anna Nordlander grew up.
