Not a matter of course at the time, especially for the son of a letter carrier, Eugène Jansson received piano lessons at the age of seven. His parents, especially his mother, attached great importance to the musical education of their sons. With success. Not only Eugène, but also his younger brother Adrian later embarked on a career as an artist - albeit in a different way than their mother had intended. At the age of 14, Eugène contracted scarlet fever. Complications arose that permanently damaged his hearing. He had to give up playing the piano and turned to painting instead. At 16, he began studying art at the Slöjdskolan in Stockholm, today's Konstfack. In addition, he attended the class of Edvard Perséus and also graduated from Kungliga Konsthögskolan Stockholm. However, unlike many of his fellow students, the young artist could not afford the then customary stay abroad for study purposes. To make ends meet, he instead became an assistant to his former teacher Perséus. A job he was able to give up in 1885, after the first financial successes came from the sale of a few still lifes. He received no money for his portraits and landscapes, which he sent to the exhibition of the artists' association Opponenterna, but at least recognition.
Although Jansson was in active exchange with other artists such as Richard Bergh or Carl Larsson, he lived rather secluded. Whether it was due to his hearing loss? Together with his mother and brother, he moved to Mariaberget on Södermalm after the death of his father. Looking out of the window, the artist found many of his motifs, from Söder Mälarstrand to the workers' housing estates on the outskirts of the city. Jansson captured them with strong brushstrokes in the style of late Impressionism and Symbolism, often bathed in dark blue night light. The large format and the unusual painting style did not suit the public's taste. Thus, success initially failed to materialize.
This changed when he met the banker Ernest Thiel. He owned a large art collection, which consisted mainly of works by Scandinavian artists - including paintings by Edvard Munch or August Strindberg. Thiel became Eugène Jansson's most important patron and client. Artistically, too, the turn of the century marked the beginning of a new era for Jansson. He looked for new subjects and found them in the depiction of male nudes. In 1912, moreover, the Olympic Games were held in his hometown. An avid gymnast himself and fascinated by the athletes' performances, he portrayed numerous athletes - from swimmers to weightlifters. However, his interest in his models was not only artistic. Admittedly, the artist never openly admitted his homosexuality. But for years he had a relationship with the carpenter Knut Nyman, ten years his junior, whom he had met in the swimming pool and portrayed several times. The large-format painting "Naken Yngling" shows Knut Nyman. After Jansson's death, Eugène's brother Adrian, himself homosexual, destroyed all the letters he had exchanged with his lover. Until 1944, homosexuality was a punishable offense in Sweden.
