There the painter, lithographer and academy lecturer Magnus Körner (1808–1864) was his first teacher. In 1861 Perséus went to Stockholm, where he studied at the art academy under Johan Christoffer Boklund . In 1867 he moved to Düsseldorf and was inspired by the Düsseldorf School of Painting until 1869 . During this time, Julius Kronberg was his private student. He then went to Munich , to the studio of Karl von Piloty to work. With a travel grant he visited Italy (especially Rome ) and France ( Paris ) from 1872 to 1874 . In 1873 he married Agnes Claesson. In 1874 he returned briefly to Düsseldorf. In 1875 he settled permanently in Stockholm and founded a private painting school, through which he had a considerable influence on the development of Swedish painting in the 19th century.
