Kilian Christoffer Zoll , also Kilian Kristoffer Zoll (born September 29, 1818 in Hyllie , today Malmö , † November 9, 1860 in Stjärnarp , Halland ), was a Swedish painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Zoll studied at the Stockholm Art Academy from 1835 to 1839, and at the Copenhagen Art Academy in 1845/1846 , with Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg among others . There he had contact with the romantic-classicist painting of the " Golden Age ". The “intimacy and unholy everydayness” taught in Copenhagen was of great importance for his artistic development. A series of study trips took him to Skåne , Halland, Småland and Dalarna . When he visited the Botorp house in Jönköping in 1842 , he was commissioned to paint an altarpiece for the church in Linderås. In 1848 he did military service in Schleswig in the Swedish Kronoberg Regiment . In 1852 Zoll went on his first study trip to Düsseldorf , where he lived until 1855 - with interruptions in the summer months when he was in Scandinavia - and was instructed at the art academy by Theodor Hildebrandt , later in private lessons with Adolph Tidemand . He kept in close contact with Bengt Nordenberg , who also painted in Düsseldorf. Zoll was a member of the artists' association Malkasten . Hildebrandt confirmed that as a genre painter he had a "very good disposition". In the winter of 1858/1859 Zoll visited Düsseldorf again after he had married Henrietta Gustava Horn af Rantzien. Zoll was buried in the churchyard of Laholm .

In his pictures, Zoll depicted mythological and historical motifs, in particular he painted genre and folk life pictures, portraits and altar pictures. His children's pictures and landscape studies have a very personal touch. Zoll preferred a small aspect ratio. In 1853 he painted the figures for his compatriot, the landscape painter Marcus Larson , in the main work Shipwreck off the Swedish coast .
