Swedish painter Wilhelm von Gegerfelt painted landscapes with motifs from Venice, Brittany, Swedish coastal landscapes and from Gotland in Sweden.
Gegerfelt studied at the Royal Danish Academy from 1861-1863, at the Royal Swedish Academy from 1864-1867, and thereafter in Düsseldorf until 1872.
He then went to Paris where he developed a new technique joining Alfred Wahlberg as one of the first Swedes to represent the Modern Breakthrough in Nordic art.
