Nationalmuseum Jamtli, Östersund, presented an exhibition featuring artists’ depictions of Nordic nature from the 17th century onward. Through visual and applied arts you got a picture of how nature has been seen as a source of beauty, an economic resource, an object of research and a symbol of identity at different times through history.

The exhibition presented some 130 works: paintings, drawings, photographs and applied art, all drawn from Nationalmuseum’s collections. The artists represented included Anna Boberg, Otto Hesselbom, Pehr Hilleström, Elias Martin, Bruno Liljefors and Helmer Osslund, along with more recent names such as Frida Fjellman, Kerstin Hörnlund, Ingalena Klenell, Märta Mattsson and Per B Sundberg.
