Emil Österman

Carl Emil Österman (11 January 1870, Västra Vingåker Parish, Södermanland – 8 March 1927, Stockholm)[1] was a Swedish painter, illustrator, and academic.

From 1894 to 1898, thanks to several scholarships, he was able to visit Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain.

He served as Sweden's official Commissioner at art exhibitions in Munich in 1905, 1909 and 1913, as well as in Vienna (1910) and Brighton (1911).

An early joint showing with Bernhard, in 1903, was not very successful but, for many years, he was a member of the Svenska konstnärernas förening [sv] and participated in several of their exhibitions.

His works may be seen at the Nationalmuseum,[2] Nordiska museet, Stockholms stadshus and the Uppsala University Library.
