Life

From 1853 to 1855 he attended the Stockholm Art Academy , where he made a name for himself in history painting with equestrian paintings and at an exhibition in 1864 for the painting Gustav II Adolf was honored with the royal medal in the battle of Meve (Gustav II Adolf i slaget vid Mewe) . With a travel grant, Anderson went to Düsseldorf , the center of the Düsseldorf School of Painting . Between 1864 and 1868 he took private lessons there from Wilhelm Camphausen .
