Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) was a prominent Finnish-Swedish poet and author, widely regarded as the national poet of Finland. Born in Jakobstad, Finland, Runeberg wrote primarily in Swedish and played a significant role in shaping Finnish national identity through his literary works. He is best known for his epic poem "The Tales of Ensign Stål" ("Fänrik Ståls sägner"), which vividly depicts the Finnish War (1808–1809) and has become a cornerstone of Finnish literature. The first poem of this collection, "Our Land" ("Vårt land"), was later set to music and adopted as the Finnish national anthem.

Runeberg's literary style was influenced by Romanticism, and his works often reflect themes of heroism, patriotism, and the beauty of the Finnish landscape. His poetry and prose were instrumental in fostering a sense of Finnish identity during a time when Finland was under Russian rule.

In addition to his literary achievements, Runeberg was also a significant cultural figure in Finland. He worked as a teacher and journalist, contributing to the cultural and intellectual life of the country. His influence extended beyond literature, impacting Finnish art, music, and national consciousness.

Runeberg was married to Fredrika Tengström, a writer and journalist in her own right. Fredrika was a pioneering figure in Finnish literature, known for her novels and contributions to women's rights. The couple's home in Porvoo, Finland, has been preserved as a museum, showcasing their life and work.

The portrait of Johan Ludvig Runeberg by Alexis Wetterbergh captures the essence of this influential literary figure. Wetterbergh, a Swedish artist, was known for his portraits and ability to convey the character and spirit of his subjects. This painting is a testament to Runeberg's enduring legacy in Finnish culture and literature.
