Berndt Adolf Lindholm (born August 20, 1841 in Loviisa ; † May 15, 1914 in Gothenburg ) was a Swedish-Finnish landscape painter .

Life

Berndt Adolf Lindholm was the son of the lawyer and municipal secretary Berndt Otto Lindholm (1802–1861) and his wife Elisabet (Betty), née Edberg (1816–1888). During his school days he received his first artistic instruction from the landscape painter Johan Knutson (1816–1899) at the grammar school in Borgå (Porvoo). Impressed by Werner Holmberg's landscape paintings , which he first saw in the exhibition of the Finnish Art Association in Åbo (Turku) in 1859, he became a student of Robert Wilhelm Ekman at the drawing school of the Finnish Art Association in Åbo (Turku) in the 1860s . With a scholarship from the Kunstverein, he stayed in Düsseldorf from 1863 to 1864/65 without a permanent teacher , where he made friends with the freelance landscape painter Philipp Röth , who temporarily took him to Bavaria and taught painting there. In 1865/66 he worked in Hans Fredrik Gude's studio in Karlsruhe; From 1867 to 1870 and 1873 to 1875 he continued his training in Paris, including in Léon Bonnat's studio .

In 1872 Lindholm married Karolina Bohle (1846–1909) from Sweden. The son Ragnar grew up in Paris; Albert Edelfelt painted his portrait as a little boy in 1874/75. The daughter Sigrid Helena was born in Paris in 1876 and became a painter. In 1876 Lindholm settled in Gothenburg, Sweden, and from 1878 to 1905 took on the role of artistic director (custodian) of the museum's art department and from 1879 to 1886 the management of the drawing and painting school.

Lindholm initially dealt with figure and portrait, city and forest views. In his major work, he created mostly landscape paintings, which he artistically anknüpfte at work Werner Holmberg, suggestions of the Düsseldorf School , especially Andreas Achenbach and Hans Gude, processed, in Paris but also influences the realistic plein air painting of the Barbizon school resumed. He was impressed by the work of Charles-François Daubignys , which he saw at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867, but also admired paintings by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot . After moving to Gothenburg, he chose motifs from West Sweden and the Swedish, Dutch and English coasts, and in the 1890s also from the Swedish and Norwegian mountain regions.
