Oh, what a day. A visit to Carl Larsson-gården, the artist home where Carl and Karin Larsson used to live.
Back in the 80-ies I, together with many others, loved the Carl Larsson paintings, but then kind of forgot about them. Then, a couple of years back, I discovered a lovely book about Karin´s garden, I min trädgård vill jag vara Karin / In my garden I want to be Karin, and learned that Carl was not the only artist living at Lilla Hyttnäs. Karin really was a very talented artist on her own. And a dream was created in my mind to visit their home.
Finally, the day was here.
We had a guided tour inside the house, where we were not allowed to take pictures,
but in the garden we could walk by ourselves, and take as many pictures as we wanted.
I have previously visited places like Charleston in Great Britain, the home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Claude Monet home in Giverny and Astruptunet in Norway. Carl Larsson-gården is another great member of this interesting list.
After the visit at Nya-Hyttnäs we did a lovely walk around the city, along fields,
through the woods, where we met an old friends,
and to the church yard to find the burial place of Carl, Karin and their descendants.
