Today I delved into Richard Schmid’s “Alla Prima,” and throughout the text, he repeatedly mentions Anders Zorn, an eminent Swedish painter from the early 20th century. Curiosity piqued, I explored his art and stumbled upon this piece featuring a boat and a girl clad in white—it’s a watercolor sold for $3.5 million. His other water-themed works are similarly executed in watercolor, while nearly everything else is in oils. Observe the varied techniques he employs. Beyond his paintings, Anders also produced several hundred etchings. It astonishes me that his work had eluded me until now. Truly, a genius!
