About Bengt Nordenberg

  • Biography

    Bengt Nordenburg was a Swedish painter who settled in Dusseldorf, Germany in the 1850s and became a member of the Dusseldorf School of Painting. Combining the linearism of the Neoclassicists with the gesture of the Romantics, the Dusseldorf School of artists included Andreas and Oswald Achenbach, Karl Friedrich Lessing and Adolf Schrodter. At its height, the School was under the direction of Wilhelm von Schadow, and ultimately included many prominent American artists, including Worthington Whittredge, Albert Bierstadt, and George Caleb Bingham. Nordenburg studied under Theodor Hildebrandt and Adolph Tidemand, and briefly with Thomas Couture.
