Harriet Backer, master of intimate realism

Influenced by realism and her travels across Europe, she was able to translate moments of life into painting, imbued with dignity and poetry. Her paintings, often centered on light that reveals material and emotions, are among the most appreciated works of Scandinavian art of her time.
