Hanna Winge

Hanna Mathilda Winge, née Tengelin (4 December 1838 – 9 March 1896) was a Swedish painter and textile artist.

Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, Hanna Mathilda Winge was the daughter of blacksmith Johan Thimotheus Tengelin and Anna Maria Hultman.

Winge was a student at J. J. Ringdahls målarskola (J. J. Ringdahl Art School) in Stockholm in 1859, and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1864–1867, and the student of Johan Christoffer Boklund (1817–1880).

[1] Together with Sophie Adlersparre (1823–1895) and Molly Rohtlieb (1836–1914), Winge was the co-founder of the association Friends of Handicraft (Handarbetets vänner) which was founded in 1874 with the purpose of the development and refinement of Swedish textile art.

Another area in which her style was displayed was in church textiles, where it spread after her design of an altar cloth at Uppsala Cathedral in 1882.
