Summer Landscape by Ferdinand von Wright, 1877

This a reproduction of Ferdinand von Wright’s “Summer Landscape” of 1877.  The artist was from Finland and from the age of sixteen worked as an illustrator in Sweden.  He returned to his parents’ estate in 1844 when he was twenty-two years old and began a secluded life in which he produced many paintings.  In 1885 he was granted a pension by the government.  He continued to produce paintings until his death in 1908 despite suffering paralysis beginning in 1884.
