Haaken Gulleson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Virgin and Child with St. Anne, in the Enånger Old Church

Haaken Gulleson was a Swedish painter and workshop leader in the early 16th century. His signature is found on six sculptures in southern Norrland. He has long been considered to be solely a sculptor, but recent research has seen him as a painter. He ran a workshop where his apprentices contributed to his work.[1]
