Life

Holm, son of the clergyman Alexander Holm and his wife Christina Elisabeth Askergren, attended the Technical Institute (Teknologiska Institutet) in Stockholm until 1855 . In 1856 he worked as an engineer for the Köping-Hult railway company, then for a short time as an employee of the zoological museum of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences . From 1858 to 1863 he studied landscape painting at the Stockholm Art Academy . There Nils Andersson (1817-1865) was his teacher. During and after his studies, he made trips to northern Sweden and Norway . In 1862 he received a royal medal for a landscape from Lapland . On the basis of a scholarship, he traveled to Düsseldorf , Munich and Karlsruhe between 1864 and 1867 , where he was a student of Hans Fredrik Gude . Via Milan and Switzerland he went to Paris and took part in the 1867 World's Fair . On November 12, 1871, he married Ildegert Josefina Rosalie Stål (1824–1890), the daughter of a wholesaler, in Stockholm. In the same year Holm became a member of the Stockholm Academy. After he had already held a teaching post at the Stockholm Art Academy, he became a deputy professor there in 1873, and finally a full professor in 1881. At the same time he worked as a curator at the Swedish National Museum from 1881 . He retired from both functions in 1901. In the 1880s he also worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. Alfred Thörne and Olof Krumlinde are among his students .

The landscape painting of the Düsseldorf School was particularly influential for his style . Like Axel Nordgren , he remained connected to Nordic landscape motifs and the style of Düsseldorf landscape painting, while most Swedish landscape painters turned to other subjects and artistic ideals that they found especially in France since the 1870s and 1880s . His oeuvre includes 114 well-known oil paintings that were created between 1853 and 1903, as well as 53 watercolors, plus sketches and caricatures.
