Notes for Gustaf Werner* Holmberg
He was one of the most valued painters in his time, not only in Finland but in the whole of Europe! His production can be seen in our President´s palace in Turku art museum and in many other remarcable places. The highest price ever paid for a painting of his took place in the Bukowsky auction in Decemeber 2001 when a painting showing a 2-horse carousine was sold for 1,6 milj FIM = 269.100EURO.
He moved from Helsinki/Helsingfors to Nystad/Ousikaupunki 7 May 1853. Source. Helsinki communionbook 1836-1856 page 97. Leena Heikelä.
