Magnus von Wright became a student at the Art Academy in Stockholm in 1826. At the same time, he published in the Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences Notes on the arrival of migratory birds in Finland, made in 1824–26, and the following year the arrival of several migratory birds in the areas closest to Stockholm, noted in 1827. Together with his brother Wilhelm von Wright, in 1828, at the expense of Count Nils Bonde, he began publishing the panel work Swedish birds after nature and on stone drawn (30 booklets, with 184 hand-colored pictures, but without text, 1828–38; one with text by Einar Lönnberg supplied complete edition, in which all three Wright brothers' bird plates were brought together, as far as they could be considered suitable, was published by I.
