Johan Stålbom (1712 – 17 November 1777) was a Swedish painter.
Stålbom was born at Karis (now in Finland). He studied from 1733 with the painters Johan Pasch and Lorens Pasch the Elder in Stockholm.[1] From the 1740s he worked and lived mainly in Östergötland, later in his estate Orräng in Grebo.
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.[1]
Stålbom died in Grebo, Östergötland, Sweden.
