Artist
Ester Almqvist was a Swedish visual artist born in Bromma, Stockholm. She studied under Gustaf Cederström and Carl Larsson at Valand Academy in Gothenburg, as well as at the Artists' Association School of Painting in Stockholm. Almqvist was a close friend with med Tora Vega Holmström who convinced her to move to Skåne where many of her paintings were created. Almqvist adhered to the national romanticist tradition but her paintings anticipated the newly created neo impressionistic and expressionistic styles. She was renowned for her twilight paintings. "Sammankomsten" (The Gathering) is a well-known work found in the collections of the National Museum.
