Gustaf Rydberg

From 1852 to 1855, he was a student of the landscape painter, Frederik Christian Kiærskou, at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, then continued at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts where he studied under Edward Bergh.

His first instructor was the Norwegian landscape painter, Hans Fredrik Gude, followed by Oswald Achenbach.

He spent five years there, visiting Skåne in the summers, which would remain one of his favorite places to sketch and paint.

[2] After returning to Sweden, in 1866, he was named a member candidate (agré) at the Royal Academy and had his first exhibition.

[3] His works are generally in the style of the Düsseldorf School, but he has also been compared to Camille Corot and adopted some techniques from his friend, Alfred Wahlberg.
