Wye's interest in legends about the Scandinavian prehistory was aroused by his parents' house . His drawings on this topic received a lot of attention in his environment.

Together with his college friend August Malmström , Winge turned to a Swedish variant of symbolism .

On the way back he reached Rome in 1859 before returning to Sweden in 1863.
In 1864 Winge was elected to the art academy and after various teaching assignments he received the title of professor a short time later. In 1865 he opened his own painting school in his studio. Winge undertook a second trip to Italy in 1877, which gave him a great deal of inspiration.
