Brief Biography-Konrad Wilhelm Mägi, the son of a schoolteacher, was born in Southern Estonia. He was first taught in Tartu and went to Saint Petersburg to study under Amandus Adamson, the Estonian artist. In 1906, He went to the Finish archipelago of Aland with artist friends of his, where he began to paint correctly. He subsequently visited France and Norway before teaching in Tartu in 1912. The style of Fauvism mainly influenced his use of rich colours. In the summers of 1913-14, he stayed on the island of Saaremaa, where he went through his most productive period producing over twenty paintings. Another inspirational period for him was 1916-17, in Kasaritsa, where he sketched many landscapes for completion in his studio.
While he was renowned as a landscape artist, he also did portraiture. He travelled to Italy in 1922, where he painted in Capri and Venice, but Konrad became very ill when in Rome; however, he did manage to do some painting. He died at the young age of 47. He is one of the most notable artists in Estonia.
