The Enigmatic Male Muse.⁠
⁠
The @washingtonpost recently highlighted the extraordinary story of an unknown man who appeared in more than 50 works by some of Sweden’s most celebrated artists. Long a mystery, his identity was uncovered by Swedish author Mats Werner, whose father had once been gifted one of these paintings. Why did this same figure become a recurring subject for painters such as Anders Zorn, Karin Bergöö (Larsson) and Olle Hjortzberg, and who was he really?⁠

Werner’s research revealed Pierre Louis Alexandre, now recognised as “the most depicted Black person in pre-modern art” and once employed by the Royal Academy of Arts in Sweden. The intrigue has endured, culminating in a painting recently acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it now hangs as the first Swedish artwork in the collection.⁠

Every corner of the home is filled with intriguing details, from antique chairs painted green to delicate figurines – and, of course, all the porcelain dogs. The couple reveals that their list of ongoing searches on auction sites is long.⁠

 “There are always things we’re on the lookout for – interesting majolica, grotto furniture, intaglios, Venetian glass, and anything shaped like a whippet, obviously,” says Duncan, with Luke adding, “I’m constantly hunting for ceramics like creamware and agateware, painted Gothic furniture, Italian silver giltwood… The list goes on!”⁠
