Edward Bergh

Johan Edward Bergh (29 March 1828 – 23 September 1880) was a Swedish jurist and landscape painter, associated with the Düsseldorf School.

His interest in art began during a trip to Gotland, where he met several artists and became friends with the architect, Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander.

He began exhibiting under the auspices of the Swedish Art Association (Sveriges allmänna konstförening [sv]).

He visited Switzerland, Italy and Germany where he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Norwegian romanticist painter Hans Gude.

[7] In the late 1860s, he moved away from the more traditional landscape subjects and began focusing on scenes from central Sweden.
