Probably the most complete book ever produced on the Folk Painting of Dalarna starting with decorative painting on furniture encouraged by the royal family as this time of history during the 1770’s was a very difficult time to survive on small farms in the heartland of Sweden. These difficult times forced the average farmer to seek revenue outside of their immediate area, so with the encouragement of the royal family they started painting furniture for the affluent part of the population including the royal family. A comprehensive historical essay on Dalapainting in interiors and as art and where these interiors are found. The subject matter of Dalapainting varies from figurative to landscapes to the depiction of life in the late 18th century and later. A following chapter shows the Dalapainting after 1870, the colors used and a comprehensive list of biographies of the painters in many parts of dalarna from Mora, Falun Enviken, Malung, Lima, Transtrand and more. A very important book for any one, who has any interest in Dalapainting; richly illustrated with beautiful full page illustrations of furniture painting, wall and ceiling painting in detail including the tools to make them.
