August Jernberg (16 September 1826 – 22 June 1896) was a Swedish artist. He was a member of the Düsseldorf school of painting.[1]

Biography[]

He was mainly a painter of portraits in his early years; he also painted historical and biblical pictures. In the 1860s he became a genre and landscape painter. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm from 1843–46 and then traveled to Paris, where he studied from 1847-53 with Thomas Couture (1815–1879).[2]

He exhibited at the Scandinavian Art Exhibition at Stockholm in 1850 and at the Exposition Universelle (1855) at Paris. In 1854, he settled in Düsseldorf and was admitted as a member to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He remained in Düsseldorf until his death, with the exceptions of some shorter trips.[1]

In 1848, he married Margareta Bjurling (1823-1903). They were the parents of several children including their son Olof Jernberg (1855–1935) who was a German landscape and marine painter. [3]
