Lindholm, Berndt (Adolf)
(b Loviisa, 20 Aug 1841; d Göteborg, 15 May 1914). Finnish painter. He received his initial art education at the School of Drawing in Turku between 1856 and 1861. He was prompted to take up a career as an artist by his admiration for Werner Holmberg, whose example he followed by studying in Düsseldorf. He was disappointed by the city’s Kunstakademie, however, where Holmberg’s instructor, Hans Fredrik Gude, no longer taught. Lindholm studied under Gude in Karlsuhe in 1865–6. He was inspired by the French landscape paintings he saw there to travel to Paris. He subsequently worked and studied in Paris from 1868 to 1870 and from 1873 to 1876 (in 1873–4 under the direction of Léon Bonnat). Lindholm became a fervent adherent of French art, particularly the Barbizon school, and of emphasizing colour. Charles-François Daubigny and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot were his most important influences.
