Gustaf Wilhelm Palm (Stoccolma 1810 -1890)
|
Gustaf Wilhelm Palm was a Swedish landscape painter and art professor.
After completing his basic education, a friend of the family provided the assistance he needed to study with Anders Arvid Arvidsson in Lund, who taught him drawing.
His early paintings were landscapes in the Romantic style that showed the influence of Carl Johan Fahlcrantz. After a trip to Norway in 1833, with Count Michael Gustaf Anckarsvärd, who dabbled in lithography, he came under the influence of Johan Christian Dahl and began to depict nature more realistically. This change came to fruition in his book of lithographs from 1837.
Altogether, he spent eleven years in Italy, becoming part of a local community of Swedish artists that dominated the Swedish art scene until the ascension of the Düsseldorf School.
In 1851, he toured through Spain and Paris on his way back to Sweden. He began teaching at the Academy in 1859. His students gave him the nickname "Palma Vecchio" (Old Palm, in Italian), and he began signing his paintings with a picture of a palm tree. Upon his retirement in 1880, he was named Professor Emeritus.
