Nils Johan Olsson Blommér (1816–1853)

Nils Johan Olsson Blommér was a Swedish painter. Starting his career as an apprentice in Lund he experimented with painting portraits from the age of 20. He achieved some successes and in 1839 he had saved up enough money to move to Stockholm. There he took the name Blommér and enrolled in the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. After winning the academy’s prize several times he got a stipend in 1847 to travel abroad. He spent time in Paris but later moved to Italy, where he married his wife Edla Gustafva Jansson, also a painter, in November 1852. A few months later he caught a fatal chest disease. https://ok.ru/echtekunst/album/904431947934

Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot

Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was a French landscape painter and printmaker in etching. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon School of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism. Camille Corot was born in Paris in 1796. His family were bourgeois people-his father was a wigmaker and his mother a milliner-and unlike the experience of some of his artistic colleagues, throughout his life he never felt the want of money, as his parents made good investments and ran their businesses well.
