Kilian Christoffer Zoll (29 September 1818 – 9 November 1860) was a Swedish artist. He belonged to the Düsseldorf school of painting and painted genre pictures, landscape, portraits, children and altarpieces. ==Biography== Zoll studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm 1835–1839. Within the Academy, Zoll and his fellow students mostly treated mythical and historical subjects, but as soon as he became independent he devoted himself to genre painting. He travelled and made sketches through Sweden; Skåne, Halland, Småland and Dalarna. He participated in the academy exhibitions 1850, 1853, 1856 and 1858 with a total of 19 oil paintings. His paintings from this period address topics such as ''Children playing with a cat'', ''Grandma's joy'', ''Old Woman at the Spinning Wheel''. In 1854 he traveled to Düsseldorf in the company of a fellow artist Bengt Nordenberg. In Düsseldorf he studied art together with another Swedish artist Marcus Larson - together they executed several paintings. He returned to Sweden in 1855. He and Nordenberg tried to get a travel grant from the Swedish Academy of Arts, but he could not get it because he was older than the rules allowed. The following year he went back to Düsseldorf, now married, and returned to Sweden 1858. Once again, he traveled through the province of Halland in artistic studies and had planned to return to Düsseldorf. He, however, fell ill and died before then. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kilian Zoll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
