Discover the legendary Swedish Power Equilibrists ("Svenska Kraftekvilibrister"), formed in 1895 by weightlifter Arvid Andersson and gymnast Axel Rylander.
Among the era's iconic strongmen, "Starke Arvid" stood out as a titan of strength, depicted on the left in this captivating image. Arvid and Axel captivated global audiences with their astonishing feats, lifting orchestras, horses, and cars, tearing through ropes, bending iron, driving nails through boards, escaping cages, and even wrestling bears. One of Arvid's most spellbinding acts involved balancing a platform, complete with a piano and pianist, on his forehead.
In a historic 1900 showdown in New York, Arvid triumphed over the Russian-American strongman Rolandow, claiming the title of the world's strongest man despite the odds.
At the turn of the 19th century, strongmen were celebrated as sports heroes and national ambassadors, captivating the public's imagination into the mid-20th century.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
If you order from Norway, your order will be delivered with Fedex, to Sweden and other parts of the world with DHL. Your package is normally delivered to your nearest agent!
