Ernst Josephson Biography

(b Stockholm, 16 April 1851; d Stockholm, 22 Nov 1906). Swedish painter, draughtsman and poet. He came from a culturally distinguished Jewish family and trained (1867–76) at the Akademi för de Fria Konsterna in Stockholm. Frequent journeys in western and northern Europe allowed him to copy Old Master paintings, and he studied briefly with Jean-Léon Gérôme at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1874. He copied especially works by Velázquez, Raphael, Titian and above all Rembrandt, whom he took as his principal model both as colourist and as a draughtsman. After further travel abroad in the late 1870s, Josephson settled in France in 1879. Up to this time he produced largely historical and biblical subjects in the spirit of the Renaissance. David and Saul (1878; Stockholm, Nmus.) recalls Rembrandt’s work in its psychological intensity, achieved through the emphasis on two figures in a dark setting.
