John Bauer (1882–1918) was a renowned Swedish painter and illustrator, best known for his work in depicting folklore and mythological themes. One of his most iconic subjects is the troll, a creature deeply rooted in Scandinavian folklore. Bauer's illustrations of trolls are characterized by their unique blend of the grotesque and the whimsical, capturing the imagination of both children and adults alike.

Bauer's trolls often appear in his illustrations for the annual Swedish fairy tale anthology "Bland tomtar och troll" ("Among Gnomes and Trolls"), which he contributed to from 1907 until his untimely death in 1918. His work in these anthologies helped to define the visual representation of trolls in Swedish culture. Bauer's trolls are typically depicted as large, lumbering creatures with exaggerated features such as long noses, shaggy hair, and hunched backs. Despite their often fearsome appearance, there is a certain charm and humanity to Bauer's trolls, which has endeared them to generations of readers.

The landscapes in which Bauer's trolls reside are equally important to his work. He often set his scenes in dense, mystical forests, filled with towering trees and shadowy undergrowth, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and mystery. This setting not only enhances the otherworldly nature of the trolls but also reflects the deep connection between these mythical creatures and the natural world.

Bauer's influence extends beyond his lifetime, as his illustrations have continued to inspire artists and storytellers. His work has been celebrated in numerous exhibitions and publications, solidifying his legacy as a master of fairy tale illustration. Through his evocative and imaginative depictions of trolls, John Bauer has left an indelible mark on the world of art and folklore.
