Biography

Masreliez was born in Paris and came to Sweden at the age of 5 in 1753. He was the son of French ornamental sculptor Adrien Masreliez (1717–1806) and the elder brother of sculptor Jean Baptiste Masreliez (1753–1801).[2][3]

He began his education at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Ritakademien) at the age of 10. Since the academy did not teach painting, he studied in Stockholm at the workshop of ornament painter Lorens Gottman (1708–1779).[4]

In 1769 he was given a study grant which he used to travel to

Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. The following year he was made a professor of art history. He became rector of the Academy in 1802 and director in 1805.[1]

His work is represented in the Swedish Nationalmuseum, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, and the Royal Palace.[1][5]
