The concept of "Cozy" has real meaning in Scandinavian countries. They have different words for it, but ultimately it means the same thing. In Denmark, it's Hygge (which enjoyed some American popularity during the pandemic), Norway has Koselig, and Sweden has Mysa.

They all boil down to one concept - being relaxed, being in the moment, taking time with friends, and consciously de-stressing.

A great example of Mysa is working a puzzle in front of a hot fire with a steaming mug of cocoa on a cold winter afternoon. You embrace the visual, scent, sound, touch, and taste. So Mysigt!

Carl Larsson is without question the quintessential Scandinavian mysigt painter.

One of Sweden's most well-known, beloved artists, he embraced the feeling of coziness and family in all of his paintings.

Carl was born in Gamla Stan, the old quarter of Stockholm, in 1853. His family was poor and struggled to make ends meet. Fortunately, his artistic talent emerged early, and his teacher at the pauper's school encouraged him to apply for the prestigious Art Academy.

Upon graduation, Carl found work illustrating books, magazines, and newspapers. However, he didn't succeed as an artist until, in 1882, he met his wife Karin and finally switched from somewhat pretentious oil painting to watercolors.

Carl and Karin had eight children, and he derived much joy from painting the family in cozy home situations.

In 1888 Karin's father gave them a small house in Sundborn, which inspired their love of art, color, and interior design.

Carl's paintings and books have made the house one of the world's most familiar homes. But not only that. The interior design and the lively family life depicted in Carl's fantastic watercolors have become almost synonymous with our picture of Sweden.

Christmas Eve was painted by Carl in 1904 at the height of his popularity and shows an abundant Christmas feast, with friends and family gathered to enjoy the bounty and the mysa.

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers, fine art enthusiasts, and Wooden Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle fans, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our puzzle artists have included many shaped Christmas whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the theme of the painting, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Carl Larsson

Carl Larsson (1853-1919) was a Swedish painter and interior designer best known for his warm, intimate depictions of family life and the Swedish countryside. His works, characterized by a delicate blend of naturalism and decorative art, often featured scenes of domestic bliss, interiors, and landscapes. Larsson's unique ability to capture light and the everyday moments of family life made him one of Sweden's most beloved artists and infused his art with a sense of warmth and simplicity. His illustrations for books, such as those for the Swedish author Elsa Beskow, as well as his iconic paintings of his own home, have become synonymous with a vision of Swedish domesticity and national identity.

Carl Larsson was born in Stockholm in 1853, the fourth of eight children. His early life was marked by financial struggles, as his father, a laborer, passed away when Carl was just 13. Despite these challenges, Larsson showed artistic promise from a young age. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and later traveled to Paris, where he was influenced by the vibrant artistic movements of the late 19th century. Larsson's style evolved as he blended the realism of his earlier works with the decorative elements of the Arts and Crafts movement. His work became synonymous with Swedish national romanticism, capturing an idealized yet deeply personal portrayal of Swedish life, particularly the beauty of the Scandinavian landscape and the tranquility of domestic life.

Carl Larsson's artistic legacy is closely tied to his deep connection with his family and home. His depictions of his wife, Karin, and their children in their idyllic home in Lilla Hyttnäs became an enduring part of his work. These intimate, detailed portrayals were celebrated for their aesthetic value and as a reflection of Larsson's profound belief in the importance of family, simplicity, and the natural world. Through his art, Larsson created a lasting vision of Swedish culture, one that continues to inspire admiration for its focus on warmth, beauty, and the appreciation of the simple joys of life.
