Dr Emil Hultmark was a Swedish art historian, collector and patron of the arts. After he settled down in Stockholm, a large inherited fortune enabled him to pursue his ambition to collect representative works of art, paintings, sculptures, engravings, furniture, etc. from most parts of the world, in particular Sweden and China, thereby forming one of the most remarkable private collections of art in Sweden.
