Albinus (Johan Albin) Hasselgren (March 20, 1880 – April 9, 1916) was a Swedish-American artist.

Background

Hasselgren was born in Gävle, Sweden. He was the son of Per Johan Hasselgren and Anna Gustafva Jansson. His sister was Swedish artist Elfrida Gustava Ewerlöf (1886-1984).[1]

Career

In 1903, Hasselgren immigrated to the United States where he adopted the first name to Albinus. He painted rural scenes of New England and a number of religious works. Hasselgren also painted altar pieces for Lutheran churches in New England. Two are still in the church of which he became a congregation member, the Emanuel Lutheran

Soon after his arrival in New England, he became involved in the discussion about early Norse settlements in North America. Hasselgren became convinced that the Newport Tower in Newport, Rhode Island was a remain from such a settlement, something that he developed in his most famous painting Vinland the year 1127. In the painting, we see Vikings together with Native Americans in front of the tower. The painting was featured in the Sunday Telegram and was published in the magazine Prärieblomman Kalender för 1912 .

Later years and death

Hasselgren lived his last four years at a sanatorium in Westfield, Massachusetts, after being diagnosed with tuberculosis. Hasselgren died during 1916 at age 36. He was buried on April 11, 1916 in the Swedish Cemetery (now All Faiths Cemetery) in Worcester (Lot #1359).[2]
