Still Life with Fruit Oil Painting

Original vintage oil painting by Leopold Morsing (1887-1971). Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1956.

Leopold Morsing was an adept Swedish painter of landscapes, still lifes and portraits. As a young man, he was thrust into an ever-advancing art scene with emerging modernist ideas filtering into Stockholm. Many of his contemporaries had trained in Paris and returned galvanised by the avant-garde. Morsing trained at Caleb Althin's painting school and then at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. He’s represented at Kalmar Museum and the Swedish State's portrait collection at Gripsholm Castle.
