Johan Edward Bergh (29 March 1828, Stockholm - 23 September 1880, Stockholm) was a Swedish jurist and landscape painter, associated with the Düsseldorf School. BiographyHis parents were shopkeepers. He attended a cathedral school then, in 1844, went to Uppsala University. He initially studied the natural sciences, but switched to legal studies and graduated with a Masters degree in 1849. At first, he worked as a notary at the Svea Court of Appeal and Stockholm City Hall. His interest in art began during a trip to Gotland, where he met several artists and became friends with the architect, Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander. When he got home, he contacted {{ill|Johan Way|sv}}, an instructor at his alma mater, who numbered painting among his many accomplishments. After that, he increasingly devoted less time to the law and more to art. His first attempt to enroll at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts was rejected, but he was not discouraged. He began exhibiting under the auspices of the {{ill|Sveriges allmänna konstförening|sv}} (an art association). One of those exhibitions was attended by Count {{ill|Mikael Gustaf Anckarsvärd|sv}}, who was an official at the Royal Academy. He was impressed with Bergh's work and assured him that a new application would be accepted. By 1854, he had qualified for a scholarship that enabled him to take a three year study trip. He visited Switzerland, Italy and Germany where he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Hans Gude. He also had some lessons from Andreas Achenbach and the Swiss landscape painter, Alexandre Calame. In 1855, he married the artist {{ill|Amanda Helander|sv}}. They had two sons, Walter and Richard, who also became a painter. In 1857, he established a landscape painting school at the Royal Academy and became a Professor there in 1861. In the late 1860s, he moved away from the more traditional landscape subjects and began focusing on scenes from central Sweden. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle (1867) in Paris. In 1874, he suffered an intracranial hemorrhage and became partially paralyzed. As a result, he began repeating popular motifs and his work never returned to its original level of quality. Sources
