Background
Evelina Stading was the daughter of the opera singer Franziska Stading.
Evelina Stading was the daughter of the opera singer Franziska Stading.
She studied art in Stockholm as a student of the landscape painter Carl Johan Fahlcrantz.
She continued her studies in Germany and Italy, something which was to become more common in the mid 19th-century, but was still unusual for a Swedish female in the 1820s, and something she was admired by her contemporaries as a pioneer by doing. From 1824 to 1827, she studied art in Dresden, and in 1827, she left for Rome via Prague and Florence. She died of a "breast inflammation" in Rome.
Her art is preserved in National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and Östergötlands museum.
