Johan Sevenbom (1721–1784)

Johan Sevenbom was a Swedish artist.

Johan Sevenbom traveled to Stockholm in 1744 to train as an artist. Without financial means, he tried to combine education with work. He was accepted as a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and in 1750 he went to Paris. At the Academy in Paris, he became the first Swedish academy student to study art alongside his work. The academy in Paris was open in the evenings and Sevenbom learned to draw and study the works of the old masters.

Sevenbom stayed in Paris until 1760; then he returned to Sweden and Stockholm, where he worked as a painter at Stockholm Castle. After a few years, he was commissioned to paint a number of landscape views with various Swedish castles, including Drottningholm Castle, Gripsholm Castle and Ulriksdal Castle.

Since his landscapes with Swedish castles were much appreciated, in the 1760s he was commissioned to paint a view of Stockholm every year. There were fifteen paintings, but the last in the series he could not finish himself due to poor health. In 1773, Sevenbom became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts.
