Marble statue. Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden.<\/p>\n<h2>About Sigrid Blomberg (1863-1941)<\/h2>\n<p>Emma Emilia Sigrid Charlotte Blomberg (1863\u20131941) was a Swedish sculptor who created religious sculptures and funerary monuments. One of her most notable creations is Beb\u00e5delsen (The Annunciation, 1900), a marble statue depicting the Virgin Mary on her knees in prayer, her head turned upwards. It was the first sculpture by a woman to be acquired by the Swedish National Museum.<\/p>\n<p>In 1900 she joined Nya Idun, a women&#8217;s association. It was there she met Sigrid Leijonhufvud with whom she shared a home. The couple socialized with sculptor Sigrid Friedman. Thanks to the many commissions Sigrid Blomberg received for producing religious works, she was able to run a studio in Italy between 1900 and 1912. Thereafter she earned her living as a bookbinder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illustration: The Annunciation (1899) by Sigrid Blomberg (1863-1941). Marble.
