About
Sven Richard Bergh was a Swedish painter, art critic and museum manager. Despite many years in France, he remained unattracted to Impressionism, preferring instead the Naturalism of painters such as Jules Bastien-Lepage. He also rejected the idea of creating landscapes en plein aire. Bergh is also notable for coining the term stämningsmåleri or "mood painting", in an 1896 essay about breaking with realism and embracing a new subjective style of painting towards the fin de siècle.
