Carl Milles.- Statue of Scheele, at Köping.
The Temptation of Christ. T. Lundberg (born 1852) has executed the Foster
Brothers — a group in bronze — Olaus Petri — a bronze statue. — The Beach
and the Wave, and Grief, the last two in marble. G. Lindberg (born 1852),
following the tendencies of Hasselberg, has executed a good deal of decorative
sculpture. Christian Eriksson (born 1858) took up industrial art, studied in
Paris, and — with his more thorough and refined technique — became a
revivalist in his department. His enormous Linné relief and the marble reliefs at
the Dramatic Theatre, which are equally excellent, both from the point of view
of form and composition, together with his model for The Bowman, constitute
perhaps the finest work hitherto produced by this famous artist. Anders Zorn
(born 1860) has executed excellent small pieces, and by his Gustav Vasa at
Mora he has proved himself to be a sculptor of high rank. Carl Milles (born
1875) fortunately belongs to the prolific creators. A series of characteristic
portraits, the giant statue of Gustav Vasa in the Northern Museum, the statue
of Scheele in Köping, the Franzén statue and the delightful group Selma and
Fanny in Härnösand, and the brilliantly original bronze gates and sculptures in
33 —133179. Sweden. I.
