About the Artist
Edvin Wilhelm Henning (1899–1955) was a Swedish painter and sculptor celebrated for his atmospheric depictions of urban life. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and later in Paris, Henning developed a distinctive style that blended Impressionist influences with a modern, expressive approach to colour and form.
He is particularly known for his lively street scenes, harbour views, and cityscapes, often capturing the everyday rhythm of life in Gothenburg and other Scandinavian settings. His paintings are admired for their confident brushwork, vibrant palette, and ability to evoke a strong sense of place and movement. Today, Henning's works remain sought after by collectors of Scandinavian and mid-century European art.
