Swedish artist Johan Tiren was academically trained and began his career painting rugged mountain vistas. More and more Tiren depicted the native Sami people, herders who were much less technologically-advanced than the Swedes. Here Tiren captures in exquisite detail the tough conditions of life for the Laplander folk, neighbors to the Swedes but seemingly from another time.
