Carl Georg Brunius

Carl Georg Brunius (23 March 1793 – 12 November 1869) was a classical scholar, art historian, archaeologist and architect.

He became professor of Greek in 1824 filling the vacancy created when Esaias Tegnér (1782–1846) became Bishop of the Diocese of Växjö.

[3][4] Brunius spent most of his career in the study of art, architecture and antiquities and as a working architect.

However beyond a few Latin poems, his contributions within his academic discipline were insignificant and had mostly ceased by the time he received his professorial chair.

[5] Together with professor Johan Gustaf Liljegren (1791–1837), Brunius co-authored the first part of Nordiska fornlemningar, published in 1819 as well as a work on petroglyphs.
