Carl Gustaf Estlander (born January 31, 1834 in Lappfjärd , Kristinestad , † August 28, 1910 in Helsinki ) was a Finnish art historian, Romanist and Nordicist.

Life

Estonians studied with Fredrik Cygnaeus (1807–1881) in Helsinki. He received his doctorate in 1858 and 1859 with the writings Richard Lejonhjärta [Lionheart] i historien och poesin and Folksångerna om Robin Hood . He stayed on for further studies in Denmark, Germany, Belgium and France and was from 1860 lecturer for aesthetics and modern literature in Helsinki. In 1863 he again traveled to Germany and France (where he was in contact with Paulin Paris ), as well as England, Spain and Italy, did his doctorate once more with Bidrag till den provencaliska litteraturens historia (Helsinki 1868) and in 1868 succeeded Fredrik Cygnaeus on the chair for Aesthetics and Modern Literature at Helsinki University . In 1891 he became a chancellery and in 1898 a state councilor.

Estlander founded newspapers ( Helsingfors Dagblad ) and magazines, gave the impetus for the construction of the Ateneum in Helsinki and stood at the beginning of Finnish art history (including its applied components), but also the academic study of Finnish literature (namely Runeberg ) and the Finnish Romance Studies ( Werner Söderhjelm was his student). He belonged to several academies, including the Kungliga Vetenskaps- och Vitterhetssamhället i Göteborg (since 1878), the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala (since 1890), the Kungliga Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Academies (since 1904), and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (since 1907). A medal was struck for his 70th birthday.
