Biography:
Gustaf Henrik Brusewitz, born on October 3, 1812, in Gothenburg, died there on June 16, 1899, was a Swedish painter, archaeologist, and museum curator in Gothenburg. He was the son of the Gothenburg merchant Gustaf Brusewitz and his wife Maria Charlotta Busch, and the brother of Fredrik Brusewitz.

Brusewitz studied at the art academy in Stockholm from 1829 to 1836 under copper engraver Christian Didrik Forssell. From 1839 to 1840, he was a student at the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici, and from 1842 to 1845, he studied in Paris at Léon Cogniet's studio and at the drawing academy in Switzerland.

He dedicated himself to history and sacred painting but was primarily active in archaeology and led the historical department of the Gothenburg Museum from 1865 to 1891. He drew numerous ancient monuments in Bohuslän and published several works on the region's early history and archaeology. On July 21, 1850, he married Sofia Amalia Lindhé.

Brusewitz is represented in the Gothenburg Historical Museum, the Gothenburg Art Museum, the Norrköping Museum of Art, and the National Museum in Stockholm.
