Anna Palm de Rosa

At the age of 36, Anna Palm left Sweden for good, spending the rest of her life in the south of Italy, where she married an infantry officer.

19 Barnhusträdgårdsgatan (today Olof Palmes Gata) was a popular meeting place for their artist friends including Nils Kreuger, Gustaf Cederström, Georg Pauli and Vicke Andrén (1856–1930).

Anna Palm was educated privately by her father who taught at the Elementary Drawing School (Elementarteckningsskolan) which prepared students for the Royal Swedish Academy of Art.

She was also a member of the recently formed association: Svenska konstnärinnor (Swedish female artists) together with Eva Bonnier, Hanna Pauli and Mina Carlson-Bredberg.

[4][5] During the First World War when her husband was called up, Palm de Rosa became extremely productive in her painting, especially in Baiae on the Gulf of Naples where she spent a year.
