The influence of the Düsseldorf school on Finnish art started in 1853
when
Werner Holmberg
(1830-1860) went there as the first
Finnish artist. He later became Finland's most important artist of the
Düsseldorf school, a great influence and pioneer of Finnish landscape painting.
Holmberg was quick to assume the ideal realism of his time: his work, too, was
based on the direct study and the collection of details from nature and a
striving towards natural effect in composition with the ideal landscape as
the ultimate goal.
