Life
Arborelius, offspring of the Arborelius family from Arboga , Västmanland , was a son of the Swedish clergyman and linguist Olof Ulrik Arborelius and his third wife Charlotta Dorotea Friman. The architect Rudolf Arborelius was his brother. His grandson, his great-nephew, is the Swedish cardinal and bishop Anders Arborelius .
Arborelius studied painting at the Stockholm Academy from 1861. He received a royal medal and a travel grant for the painting Oak Forest with an Approaching Storm , created in 1868 , which enabled him to spend three years studying in Europe. Stops on this trip were in particular Paris , Munich , Rome (1871) and Düsseldorf , where he stayed in 1869. He then settled in Stockholm. In 1872 he became a member (Agré) of the Art Academy in Stockholm. There he worked from 1881 to 1912 as a senior teacher for drawing at the Royal Technical University . On May 31, 1873, he married his cousin Hedvig Maria Arborelius (1853-1909). In 1901 he received a professorship for landscape painting at the Stockholm Art Academy, which he held from 1902 to 1909.
Arborelius, who distinguished himself as a genre and landscape painter in the painting tradition of the Düsseldorf School , was little influenced by the emerging impressionism throughout his life, although he had belonged to the artistic opposition movement in the 1880s. Fritz von Dardel criticized Arborelius' extensive use of green paint. At the international art exhibition in Venice in 1903 , the Italian King Viktor Emanuel III. a landscape painting by him.
In the 1850s, Arborelius created a small collection of stamps in one of his sketchbooks , which remained forgotten and untouched for around 140 years and which was given to the Stockholm Postal Museum in 1999 as "probably the oldest original stamp collection in the world" .
