Paintings by Johan Krouthén

(Denna sida finns även på svenska).

In the summer of 1994, Östergötland's County Museum in Linköping had an exhibition of paintings by Johan Krouthén. The exhibition was opened by Gunnar Lindqvist on Sunday May 8th. During the exhibition, several guided tours were held. The exhibition closed on September 18th.

Johan Krouthén was born in 1858 and died in 1932. This means his paintings are no longer subject to copyright, but can be copied and distributed freely by anyone. Copyright, in Sweden and most other countries, extends until fifty years after the death of an artist or author.

Project Runeberg has scanned some of his paintings and now makes the available as computer files. You are welcome to copy these files to a floppy and bring home. Turn to Lysator, the students' computer club at Linköping University.

If you live abroad, you could try the computer science department of your local university, they might be able to help you.

Below you can see miniatures of each painting, along with a brief presentation. If you use the computer mouse to "click" on a painting, you will see that painting enlarged. It may take some time before the painting shows, because the computer file will have to move through the computer network, so please be patient.
