HANS DAHL 1849-1937 A wonderful early twentieth century original oil painting by the listed Norwegian artist Hans Dahl, depicting a portrait of a smiling, beautiful young girl. The painting is impressive in quality, especially to the sitters face and is signed/dated 1927 to lower right. Presented in a decent gilt frame. A truly wonderful example. Hans Dahl (19 February 1849, Granvin – 27 July 1937) was a Norwegian painter. Hans Dahl was famous for his paintings of Norwegian fjords and surrounding landscapes. Hans Dahl was born in the village of Granvin, on the Hardangerfjord, in the county of Hordaland in Norway. His talent was already evident when Dahl was 16 years old. However, it was only after service in the Swedish army that Dahl received artistic education. Hans Dahl was educated first to become an officer and became a lieutenant in 1871. He served in the Bergenske Brigade until 1874. After leaving the army, he apprenticed with Johan Fredrik Eckersberg and Knud Bergslien. He went to Karlsruhe, where he studied under Hans Fredrik Gude and Wilhelm Riefstahl and then to Düsseldorf, where his teachers included Eduard von Gebhardt and Wilhelm Sohn. His art became associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting, which was characterized by finely detailed yet still fanciful landscapes. ai674 - Please If you wish, you can also read more
