Brief Biography-Hans Dahl was from Hardanger, Norway. At twenty-one, he took up painting after being in the army for most of his life. Dahl studied under Hans Gude at Karlsruhe art school and under Wilhelm Sohn, the nephew of Karl Ferdinand Sohn in Düsseldorf. He travelled Europe widely but primarily to Germany, where he enjoyed considerable success. His paintings were mostly landscapes with staffage. While his primary residence was Balstrand in Norway, he lived intermittently in Berlin. Kaiser Wilhelm II was a patron of his works up until 1914. |
