In 1884 he travelled to Paris to study at the Académie Julian.

In 1890 he married Mary Slöör. The marriage produced three children. But not everything was happy for the couple, as in 1895 their daughter Impi Marjatta died of diphtheria.

Following the death of his young daughter, Gallen-Kallela's works dealt with the theme of death.
