Evelina Stading (January 1, 1797– April 4, 1829), was a Swedish
landscape painter.[1]
Biography
Evelina Stading was born in
Stockholm, Sweden. She was either the daughter or the niece of the opera singer
Franziska Stading (1763–1836). Stading studied art in Stockholm, as a student of the landscape painter
Carl Johan Fahlcrantz and continued her studies in
Germany and Italy. This was unusual for a Swedish female in the 1820s, and something she was admired by her contemporaries as a pioneer by doing. From 1824 to 1827, she studied art in
Dresden, and in 1827, she left for Rome via
Prague and
Florence, travelling in the company of her aunt. She died of a "breast inflammation" in Rome.[2] Her art is preserved in
National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and
Östergötlands museum.
