Escaping the Frame: The Untold Story of a Man Who Inspired a Masterpiece 🖼️

The subject of this captivating portrait is Pierre Louis Alexandre, who escaped a French colony and found refuge in Sweden. During the harsh Swedish winters, when the harbours froze over, he would model for students at the art academy. Unlike many of her peers who used him for exotic and stereotypical poses, Karin Bergöö Larsson captured his individuality and presence with great sensitivity.

Karin Bergöö Larsson was an exceptional artist in her own right, and a pioneering woman in the art world. She was one of the few female students at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts at the time. Her work often showcased a deep empathy for her subjects. She later married fellow artist Carl Larsson and became a highly influential textile designer, shaping the famous 'Larsson style' of interior design. This painting stands as a testament to her unique talent and compassionate perspective.
