Leyendecker, is another one of my favorite artist to include in my SD1.5 and SDXL prompts. His name tends to add a light, slightly quaint touch to the images. Here is my tribute to this artist who created such charming artworks.One thing I did not know about Larsson until I started to collect material for the LoRA is the connection between his work, his home, and the Swedish furniture Juggernaut Ikea. Just look at the desks and chairs in his paintings 😅😎: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://ikeamuseum.com/en/whats-on/exhibitions/home-rebels/">Ikea Exhibition - Home Rebels</a>From ChatGPT:<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Larsson_-_Self_Portrait.jpg"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Larsson_-_Self_Portrait.jpg/220px-Larsson_-_Self_Portrait.jpg" /></a>Self-portrait, 1895<h3 id="carl-olof-larsson-(28-may-1853-22-january-1919)-5eb08kk3f"><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Larsson">Carl Olof Larsson</a> (28 May 1853 – 22 January 1919)</h3>OverviewCarl Larsson was a Swedish painter, illustrator, and interior designer, best known for his watercolor paintings of idyllic family life.
