Manne Ihran
1877-1917.

His subject matter is entirely tied to Uppsala and its surroundings, such as buildings, backyards, trees and the harbor.
Manne Ihran painted in the true spirit of national romanticism, and the atmospheric pictures of, for example, Stora Torget with the Svedberg House from 1905 are some of his most famous works.
