Biography

Munsterhjelm was born at Toivoniemi Manor of Tuulos, Finland. He was the son of Gustaf Riggert Munsterhjelm (1806-1872) and his wife and Mathilda Charlotta Eleonora von Essen (1818-1895). His father first sent him to the Turku Maritime School. In the early 1860s, he studied art at Düsseldorf with Werner Holmberg (1830-1860) and Oswald Achenbach (1827-1905) and at Karlsruhe under Hans Gude.[3][4]

His painted landscapes were influenced by the romanticism of the Düsseldorf school, often featuring nature as a mood rather than a realistic subject. His landscape "October Evening After the First Snowfall" (1883) was purchased by Alexander III in 1885; the painting is now in the Ateneum in Helsinki.[5][2] Two of his works, "The Evening, in Finland" and "The Night" were displayed at the 1878 Paris Exposition.[6] His work "Evening of the First Spring" was also on display at the 1900 Paris Exposition.[7][2]

He married Olga Mathilda Tanninen (1856–1929) in 1875. They had four children, one of whom was the sculptor John Munsterhjelm (1879–1925). Munsterhjelm became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1897.[8]

He kept being highly productive all the way until his death in 1905 in Helsinki.[9][2]

In current times his moonlight paintings are some his most famous and popular.[10][11]
