Carl Olof Larsson ( 1853 - 1919) was a Swedish artist whose paintings , watercolors and drawings often show the life of his family in and around their house in Sundborn , Sweden. Carl and his wife, had eight children and are considered the founders of what is now considered "typically Swedish" living style, whose key elements are brightness, bright colour and lively, cheerful functionality. Their house is now a museum.

Carl Larsson grew up in poverty. When he was 13, his teacher encouraged him to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. To pay for his studies, he was forced to work part-time. For example, he worked as a retoucher for a photographer. After he was awarded a royal medal in 1876, his financial situation improved somewhat.

In 1877 Larsson was able to make his first trip to Paris. His third trip to France in 1882 took him to the artists' colony of Grez-sur-Loing near Fontainebleau, where he made numerous watercolors of the surrounding nature. Here he met Karin Bergöö , who soon became his wife. The couple returned to Sweden for the wedding. "This was a turning point in Larsson's life. In Grez, Larsson painted some of his most important works, but now in watercolors, and very different from the oil painting technique he had used before," says the book Carl and Karin Larsson - Their Life and Their Art... edited by Michael Snodin and Elisabeth Stavenow-Hidemark .

Carl Olof Larsson was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolors, and frescoes. He is principally known for his watercolors of idyllic family life. Larsson's popularity increased considerably with the development of colour reproduction technology in the 1890s, when the Swedish publisher Bonnier published books written and illustrated by Larsson and containing full colour reproductions of his watercolours, titled "A Home."
