Edit ProfileCareer
Artistic painter jobs do not fully employ the Language, so he periodically had to paint houses and furniture. He moved to Turku in 1735 and painted a new city hall. He also painted murals and altarpieces at a number of churches, including in Paimion (1738), Lempäälä, Saltvik (1759), and Lumparland (1760).
Language died in Turku July 13, 1761.
