Johan Stålbom (1712 - 17 November 1777) was a Swedish painter.[1]
Stålbom was born in the former town of Karis (now Raseborg), Finland. He studied from 1733 with the painters Johan Pasch and Lorens Pasch the Elder in Stockholm.[2] From the 1740s, he worked and lived mainly in Östergötland, later in his estate Orräng in Grebo, Sweden.
Stålbom primarily painted portraits. The Linköping Diocese library shows a few portraits he has painted. There are only a few of his works that have survived. In the best of his works is displayed skillful drawing, and strong, but not sophisticated colors. His colorings are characterized by a strong reddish color and a greenish or grayish shading.
Johan Stålbom married around 1757 with Susanna Beata Hammardahl. Stålbom died at Grebo in Östergötland, Sweden.
