Gustaf Lundberg

Gustaf Lundberg (17 August 1695 – 18 March 1786) was a Swedish rococo pastelist and portrait painter.

The determining influence was the Venetian painter Rosalba Carriera (1675–1757), who lived in Paris from 1720 to 1721.

He portrayed many of the Swedes visiting Paris and befriended Count Carl Gustaf Tessin (1695–1770)— Swedish ambassador, art collector, and member of the famous family of architects, who let him stay in his palace.

An already successful artist, he quickly established himself as the leading rococo painter in Sweden.

Towards the end of his career, he painted a portrait of the young Crown Prince Gustav Adolf in 1779.
