Swedish painter (1860-1920)

This guy has an insanely beautiful way of using light and color!

Zorn is incredible at maximizing his limited color palette. if i remember correctly, he used something like: Yellow Ochre, vermilion, ivory black and cremmtz white or zinc white.

Just for kicks, here are his watercolors that he executed during his 20's
