John Bauer

Young John Bauer applied to the art academy in Stockholm at an early age. But at just sixteen, he was unfortunately too young to be accepted. So he first began an apprenticeship at Althin's Målarskola. A few years later, he was overjoyed when he was finally accepted to the Academy of Art. During his studies, Paul began to accept new commissions for illustrations. One day he received the commission that would change his life. The commission was to illustrate the fairy tale series Bland Tomtar och troll, which means among gnomes and trolls. These illustrations made John Bauer the most famous Swedish fairy tale illustrator.

To this day, his drawing style can be found mostly in fairy tale books, as many artists have adopted his drawing style. He had especially of trolls a very special and own characteristic illustration, which is known until today. His illustrations of nature and magical places are also very popular to this day. He painted dense forests where light finds a way through with difficulty and magical creatures that the human eye cannot perceive. He drew his inspiration from nature and the forests of Sweden, which he loved and which were his home to him. This made him very popular, especially among his countrymen. John also liked to paint people, but there was always something very fairy-tale about them. The girls in his art often have long blond curls and the men look very chivalrous. The characters have a mysterious air about them. They often look abandoned or wistful, but sometimes they are with other characters in a beautiful landscape. In addition to forests, he often painted bodies of water or houses at the foot of the mountain. The abandonment of the characters and the landscapes makes his art seem gloomy and mysterious, but also beautiful and friendly at the same time. It is no wonder that he is still popular today, as his fairytale-like art captivates many people in the past as well as still today.

However, during his studies, not only his great career began. He also met the love of his life. Her name was Ester Elquist, a woman who began her studies at the Academy of Art the same year he did. Six years later they married and had a son named Bengt. John Bauer spent a happy life as an artist, painter, illustrator, husband and father. Unfortunately, he and his family died in a shipwreck when he was just 36 years old.
