John Bauer’s fairy world

This summer, while during trips around southern Sweden, I had the pleasure to discover the John Bauer museum. He was a painter and illustrator, born in J?ɬ?nk?ɬ?ping in the late 19th century. He is famous for his illustrations of trolls, dwarfs and princesses for Swedish fairy tales.

The pictures are quite dark, but usually with bright spots of color and light. Very beautiful. You can see some in the museum?Ǭ�s online gallery, and also on project Runeberg.
