.
His See also:father, a See also:copper-founder, encouraging an See also:early-exhibited See also:taste for See also:design, sent him in 18or to See also:Stockholm, where he studied at the school of See also:art
.
There he came much under the See also:influence of the sculptor Sergell, who communicated to him his own See also:enthusiasm for See also:antique art and natural See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace
.
See also:Fogelberg worked hard at Stockholm for many years, although his See also:instinct for severe beauty rebelled against the somewhat See also:rococo quality of the art then prevalent in the See also:city
.

He studied from one to two years in See also:Paris, first under See also:Pierre See also:Guerin, and after-wards under the sculptor Bosio, for the technical practice of See also:sculpture
.
In 182o Fogelberg realized a See also:dream of his See also:life in visiting See also:Rome, where the greater See also:part of his remaining years were spent in the assiduous practice of his art, and the careful study and See also:analysis of the See also:works of the past
.
Visiting his native See also:country by royal command in 1854, he was received with See also:great enthusiasm, but nothing could compensate him for the See also:absence of those ' remains of antiquity and surroundings of See also:free natural beauty to which he had been so See also:long accustomed Returningto See also:Italy, he died suddenly of See also:apoplexy at See also:Trieste on the 22nd of See also:December 1854
.
The subjects of Fogelberg's earlier works
are mostly taken
from classic myth-
ology
.
Of these,
"See also:Cupid and
See also:Psyche," " See also:Venus
entering the
See also:Bath," "A
Bather " (1838),
" See also:Apollo Citharede," " Venus and Cupid " (1839) and " Psyche " (1854) may be mentioned

Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF

time, that he had See also:powers above those of intelligent assimilation and See also:imitation
.
His "See also:Odin"(1831),"See also:Thor" (1842), and" See also:Balder" (1842), though influenced by See also:Greek art, display considerable See also:power of See also:independent See also:imagination
.
His portraits and See also:historical figures, as those of Gustavus See also:Adolphus (1849), of See also:Charles XII
.
(1851), of Charles XIII
.
(1852), and of See also:Birger Jarl, the founder of Stockholm (1853), are faithful and dignified works
