Gustaf Erik Hasselgren

Gustaf Erik Hasselgren (15 November 1781 — 9 March 1827) was a Swedish painter and etcher.

His father, Erik Gustaf Hasselgren, was the local head of the security guard; a position akin to police chief.

He remained there for five years; becoming associated with the German art colony and befriending Johann Friedrich Overbeck, one of the major figures in the Nazarene movement.

His larger works include a "Resurrection of Christ", which is in Saint James's Church, Stockholm, and a depiction of "Ragnar Lodbrok", which was commissioned by King Karl XIV Johan.
