Manne Ihran
1877–1917.
Artist.
Manne (Gustaf Emanuel) Ihran initially took over his father's, tailor Erik Ihran's business in Uppsala, but came through contact with the artists Olof Thunman and Gusten Widerbäck to increasingly take an interest in artistic activities.

His circle of motifs is completely bound to Uppsala and its surroundings, such as buildings, backyards, trees and the harbour.
Manne Ihran painted in true national romantic spirit and the mood pictures of Stora Torget with the Svedbergian house from 1905 belong to some of his most famous works.
