Sigurd Wettenhovi-Aspa (1940).

Georg Sigurd Wettenhovi-Aspa[needs IPA] (born. Wetterhoff-Asp, 7 May 1870 – 18 February 1946) was a Finnish multiartist: painter, sculptor, writer, and a pseudo-linguist.[1] He is best known for his fantastical theories about the past of the Finnish people, whom he believed to have descended from Ancient Egypt.[1][2]

Born in Helsinki, his parents were Georg August Asp (1834–1901), professor of anatomy at the University of Helsinki and Mathilda Sofia Wetterhoff (1840–1920), developer of female gymnastics.

Wettenhovi-Aspa studied art in Copenhagen in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1888 to 1891.[3] He organized several art shows known as the Free Exhibitions. He died in Helsinki.
