Anton Genberg

Anton Jonsson Genberg (20 June 1862, in Östersund[1] – 8 January 1939,[2] in Storängen, Nacka) was a Swedish painter in the Naturalist style who specialized in mountain landscapes.

After completing his secondary education, he studied at the Tekniska skolan in Stockholm from 1882 to 1884 while taking private art lessons from Oscar Törnå.

From 1884 to 1889, he studied with Per Daniel Holm at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts where he was awarded several medals.

Later, he held several exhibitions at the Konstnärshuset, as well as abroad in Berlin, St. Louis, Buenos Aires and Munich.

From 1916 to 1924, he lived in Nacka, in the historical Villa Wallbeck-Hansen [sv], which was later the home of another artist, Roland Svensson.
