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.
