August Holmberg (1851-1911) was a German painter who initially studied sculpture before switching to painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, studying under Wilhelm von Diez (1839-1907) among others. He travelled to Italy in 1875 and Paris in 1878 and was awarded medals for his work in Vienna in 1873, London in 1875 and Munich. In 1879, he collaborated on a painting of the small gala carriage for King Ludwig II of Bavaria, which is now in Nymphenburg Palace. In 1900, Holmberg was named director of the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich, which houses one of the world’s greatest collections of 19th century art.
