Johan Way

Johan Wilhelm Carl Way (11 June 1792, Rute, Gotland – 10 April 1873, Stockholm) was a Swedish professor, portrait painter, graphic artist, military officer and writer.

As a young man, he accompanied his father, the shipbuilder Olof Way [sv], on trips to London, and received his first drawing lessons there in 1807.

He later wrote a book about his experiences on a campaign to Germany in 1813,[2] where he served as an adjutant to Commander Carl von Cardell [sv].

[4] From 1842 to 1848, he also taught at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and, in 1843, succeeded Jacob Axel Gillberg as the professor of miniature painting.

His best-known works include the stained glass windows in the Gustavian style burial vault at Uppsala Cathedral; created from 1831 to 1841.
