Life
Berg, son of the opera singer and composer Isaak Albert Berg (1803–1886) and his wife Carolina “Lina” Hjortsberg (1807–1868), was deaf and dumb from childhood . In 1841 he attended a school for the deaf and mute in Paris , and in 1848 the Manilla Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Stockholm. From 1851 to 1853 he studied painting at the Stockholm Art Academy . In 1853 he traveled to Düsseldorf with his family , where he took private lessons from the landscape painter Andreas Achenbach . He then went on study trips to the coasts of Holland , Belgium and France , where he joined Ary Scheffer and continued the journey to Italy . He spent around ten years mainly studying on the coasts of the North and Baltic Seas and the Mediterranean before he returned to Sweden in 1865, where he had become Agré at the Stockholm Academy in 1860. In 1867 he married Anna Charlotta Maria Nylén (1838–1926), the daughter of a captain. Interested in education for the deaf , he founded a deaf association in 1868 with Ossian Edmund Borg (1812–1892) and Fritjof Carlbom (1835–1890), the Döfstumsföreningen , later called Stockholm Dövas Förening .
The Swedish writer Agneta Pleijel , a descendant of Berg on her mother's side, treated the life of the singer Helena Sophia Petré, née Berg (1834–1880), and her brother, the painter Albert Berg, in the 2009 novel Syster och bror .
