Evelina Stading

Evelina Stading (1 January 1797, Stockholm, Sweden - 4 April 1829, Rome, Italy), was a Swedish landscape painter.

Evelina Stading was the daughter (or niece) of the opera singer Franziska Stading. She studied art in Stockholm as a student of the landscape painter Carl Johan Fahlcrantz. She continued her studies in Germany and Italy, something which was to become more common in the mid 19th-century, but was still unusual for a Swedish female in the 1820s, and something she was admired by her contemporaries as a pioneer by doing. From 1824 to 1827, she studied art in Dresden, and in 1827, she left for Rome via Prague and Florence. She traveled in company of her aunt. She died of a "breast inflammation" in Rome.

Her art is preserved in National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and Östergötlands museum.
