Biography

The waterfall Harsprånget (1856)

Hallbeck worked as a shop assistant until 1846[citation needed] when he began to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After completing his studies, he moved back to Sweden in 1851.[citation needed] For a long time, Hallberg was one of the most frequently hired artists for woodcuts in Swedish, Danish and German magazines and books.

Among other things, he worked for Svenska Familj-Journalen, the calendar Svea and Ny Illustrerad Tidning, in which he contributed during the founding in 1865.[citation needed] In 1887, he moved to the United States,[citation needed] where he painted a few watercolour paintings while still sending literary contributions to the Swedish press under the pseudonym Svante.
