Carl Eneas Sjöstrand
Carl Eneas Sjöstrand (11 September 1828 – 14 February 1906) was a Swedish sculptor who worked over 40 years in Grand Duchy of Finland.
He was born in Stockholm, the son of painter Carl Johan Sjöstrand, and studied under Herman Wilhelm Bissen in Copenhagen. Although Swedish, Sjöstrand is considered the founder of Finnish sculpture because of his role as a promoter of Finnish public sculpture in the 1850s and 60s, and his interpretations of Finnish themes. Among his students was the Finnish sculptor Walter Runeberg. He lived in Finland from 1863 till 1904. He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.[1]
Sjöstrand was the father of Gerda Sjöstrand, who married the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni and of the painter Helmi Sjöstrand.
