安德斯·伦纳德·佐恩（Anders Leonard Zorn）是瑞典最重要的艺术家之一，他出生在瑞典达拉纳省穆拉下辖的一个小村庄，在祖父母的农庄里长大。1875年到1880年他就读于位于斯德哥尔摩的瑞典皇家艺术学院，他的才华令他的老师们感到惊讶，

Anders Leonard Zorn is one of the most important artists in Sweden. He was born in a small village under the jurisdiction of mura in dalana province and grew up on his grandparents' farm. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of art in Stockholm from 1875 to 1880, and his talent surprised his teachers,

1881年毕业后到英国、西班牙、意大利、法国及巴尔干半岛等地旅行作画，在巴黎和伦敦逗留期间受印象主义绘画的启发，开始研究光与色的关系。自此以后，他的画面清新明朗，笔法畅快，尤其是他的肖像画技法，他对于模特特征敏锐的捕捉能力，令他成为那个时代最负盛名的画家之一，并获得了国际性的成功。

After graduation in 1881, he traveled to England, Spain, Italy, France and the Balkans to paint. During his stay in Paris and London, inspired by Impressionism, he began to study the relationship between light and color. Since then, he has become one of the most famous painters of his time, and has achieved international success.

他的早期作品通常是明亮的水彩画，笔法轻快，色彩清朗，造型准确。 后期转为油画，善於用阔大豪放的笔触描绘对象，追求画面的光感和色彩变化，画法松动而畅快。据说佐恩大多使用基本色来调色：白色，赭石，朱红色和象牙色黑色组成的基本调色板。 这种有限的调色板在混色方面显示了巨大的潜力。

His early works are usually bright watercolours with light strokes, clear colors and accurate shapes. Later, he turned to oil painting. He was good at describing objects with broad and unconstrained brushwork, pursuing the light sense and color change of the picture. His painting method was loose and smooth. Zorn is said to mostly use basic colors: a basic palette of white, ochre, scarlet and ivory black. This limited palette shows great potential in color mixing.

各种色调可以混合被认为是肖像画的一个非常重要的发展。最引人注目的一点是，象牙黑色是偏蓝色的，通过混合象牙黑色和黄色的赭石，可以获得一种橄榄绿色。当然，佐恩只使用这四种颜色作画是不真实的， 他的作品也显示了其他辅助颜色的使用。

The fact that various hues can be mixed is considered to be a very important development of portrait painting. The most striking point is that the ivory black is bluish, and an olive green can be obtained by mixing the ivory black and yellow ochre. Of course, it is not true that Zorn only uses these four colors in his paintings. His works also show the use of other auxiliary colors.

1896年，他回到莫拉，给瑞典绘画的发展带来了新的活力。他的风景画和风俗画（日常生活）通常描绘他所熟悉的瑞典乡下生活。他常常选择裸体农妇为题材。他也因裸体画和对水的真实描绘而闻名。

In 1896, he returned to mora, which brought new vitality to the development of Swedish painting. His landscape and genre paintings (everyday life) usually depict the Swedish rural life he is familiar with. He often chooses the naked peasant women as the theme. He is also known for his nude paintings and realistic depictions of water.
