Description |
English: The scene with the dying soldier receiving the last rites was close at hand for Nils Forsberg. During the Franco-Prussian War in 1870–1871, he worked as a medic. The soldier was modelled on one of the many casualties Forsberg encountered in the siege of Paris. The scene is set in the Notre Dame, which served as a field hospital. The painting was a success at the Paris Salon of 1888 and made Forsberg famous. The merchant August Röhss bought the painting and toured it in Sweden before donating it to the Nationalmuseum in 1889. Svenska: Motivet med den döende soldaten som får den sista smörjelsen låg nära tillhands för Nils Forsberg. Under det fransk-tyska kriget 1870–71 arbetade han som sjukvårdare. Modell till soldaten var en av alla skadade som Forsberg mötte under belägringen av Paris. Scenen utspelas i kyrkan Notre Dame som fungerade som fältsjukhus. Målningen gjorde stor succé på Salongen i Paris 1888. Den gjorde Forsberg berömd. Grosshandlaren August Röhss köpte målningen och lät den turnera Sverige runt innan han skänkte den till Nationalmuseum 1889. |
