Elis Chiewitz

Elis Chiewitz (pronounced tje:vits),[1] born 13 April 1784 in Stockholm, died 24 June 1839 in Hammarlund, Åland, was a Swedish musician and artist.

Elis Chiewitz was the son of the court chapel violinist Paul Johansson Cheiwitz [sv] and Christina Elisabeth Runius.

He participated several times in the academy's exhibitions with genre pictures, landscape and historical scenes in oils or watercolour.

These include twelve group scenes and twenty-five single figures in coloured line etching after watercolour ink drawings.

Some of Elis Chiewitz's colour lithographs later served as models for coffin letters printed at Berlingska boktryckeriet in Lund.
