Thure Nikolaus Freiherr von Cederström (born June 25, 1843 in Åryd, today municipality of Växjö , Småland , Sweden ; † May 21, 1924 in Munich ) was a Swedish genre painter from the Düsseldorf and Munich schools .

Life

Cederström, offspring of the Swedish aristocratic family Cederström, was a son of the Swedish cavalry colonel Klas Anton Graf von Cederström (1795-1849) and his wife Katarina Fredrika Aschan (1805-1881). His grandfather was the Swedish admiral and minister Olof Rudolf von Cederström (1764-1833), who fought in the American-Tripolitan War .

A musical duo

On October 4, 1858, Cederström entered the Karlberg Military Academy as a cadet . From 1868 to 1871 he served as an officer in the Royal Swedish Life Guard on horseback . He interrupted his military career in 1868/1869 to study art in Paris . There he found a teacher in Hugo Salmson . Between 1872 and 1877 Cederström stayed in Weimar and Düsseldorf , where his cousin Gustaf had studied with Ferdinand Fagerlin in 1867/1868 and where he was a private student of Albert Baur the Elder . On February 24, 1877, he married Elise Semler (1850–1927) in Weimar. The couple lived in Munich since 1877. Eduard Grützner , a student of Carl Theodor von Piloty , was one of his close circle of friends .

Similar to Grützner and the Norwegian Vincent Stoltenberg Lerche , who was studying and working in Düsseldorf at the same time, Cederström dedicated himself to depicting scenes from monastery life, which he executed with realistic detailed painting and with a historical sense for costumes and furnishings. In 1879 he received a bronze medal at a London exhibition, the only award of its kind that was due to him. From 1883 Cederström worked as a Swedish or Swedish-Norwegian commissioner at international art exhibitions in Munich. For the Swedish ethnographer Artur Hazelius - a connoisseur and collector of old art and handicrafts and a member of the Munich Antiquities Association - he appeared as a buyer at German art and antique dealers.

Villa Bavariaring 18 (2010)

Cederström became a committed member of the Munich artists' cooperative, especially in its historical commission, which he set up with others in 1892 and which already organized an exhibition of its rapidly growing historical collection in December 1892. In 1906, as chairman of the historical commission of the artists ' cooperative , he curated the Künstlerhaus exhibition Scherz und Ernst from Munich's artist life .

In order to retire and move into a smaller apartment, Cederström sold his villa and studio at Bavariaring 18 in Munich's Ludwigsvorstadt in 1913 . This building was built from 1887 to 1889 by the architect Emanuel von Seidl . At the same time he dissolved his art and antiques collection at the Helbing auction house .
