Agneta "Agnes" Fredrika Börjesson (born May 1, 1827 in Uppsala , Sweden ; † January 26, 1900 in Alassio , Italy ) was a Swedish portrait , interior and genre painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Agnes Börjesson was the daughter of the Swedish clergyman, literary critic and playwright Johan Börjesson (1790-1866) and his wife Fredrika Gustavfa, née Fock, and the granddaughter of the Swedish baron, officer and government official Berndt Wilhelm Fock (1763-1836). Alongside Amalia Lindegren , Jeanette Holmlund and Lea Lundgren , she was one of four students who were exceptionally admitted to the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm in the middle of the 19th century, when women were generally denied admission to academies . It owed its approval in 1849 to the recommendation of Professor Carl Gustaf Qvarnström . In 1852/1853 she continued her training as a painter with Constantin Hansen in Copenhagen . From 1854 to 1856 she took lessons from Johan Christoffer Boklund in Stockholm. Further stations of her training were Paris and Düsseldorf in 1856 , where she took private lessons from the Swiss genre painter Benjamin Vautier between 1856 and 1865 and from the history painter Wilhelm Sohn between 1868 and 1871 . In Düsseldorf and she showed recent works in the “permanent art exhibitions” by Eduard Schulte and Bismeyer & Kraus . Under Vautier's influence, compositions with historical motifs from the 17th and 18th centuries were created. Börjesson then moved to Venice and made numerous trips. In addition to Germany and Italy, where she also stayed longer in Rome with Sofie Ribbing , she visited Spain and Morocco. The contact with her home country Sweden still existed: From 1850 to 1880 she was represented with her work in the exhibitions of the Stockholm Academy, of which she was elected in 1872, and in 1897 in the "Allmänna konst- och industriutställningen" (Stockholmsutställningen) on Djurgården .

In 1869 she showed the composition The Surprise in Breslau . Her painting Der Abschied hung in the art exhibition of the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873 . In the Berlin Academic Art Exhibition in 1878 she was represented with the paintings Römische Osteria and Tarantella .
