Description: Werner Holmberg (1830?1860) was one of the most important Finnish painters of his period. He was also among the first Finnish artists to study in Düsseldorf and the first to gain international recognition.

He also painted German and Finnish farmhouse motifs and urban subjects in Düsseldorf.00Exhibition: Hämeenlinna Art Museum, Finland (03.06.-10.09.2017).
