Johan Christian Clausen Dahl (Bergen, 1788-1857)
The son of a fisherman, Dahl initially trained as an artisan painter in his home town of Bergen, Norway (at that time still a part of Denmark). At the Copenhagen Academy, where he studied from 1811 to 1817 under C.A. Lorenzen, he won minor and major silver medals and chose to become a landscape painter. He was enormously influenced by Dutch landscape paintings in Copenhagen collections, particularly by Ruisdael and Everdingen, and by Eckersberg's studies of nature. He exhibited intermittently at Charlottenborg from 1812 to 1855 and at the World Fair in Paris 1855.
In 1818 Dahl travelled via Berlin to Dresden, where he met Caspar David Friedrich. He spent 1820 and 1821 in Italy, living near the Bay of Naples and then in Rome, where he made friends with Thorvaldsen. He eventually settled in Dresden, and was appointed professor at the city's Art Academy in 1824. However, his mission in life remained the depiction of the Norwegian landscape, then considered a sublime primordial wilderness. He therefore undertook five long study tours from to his homeland, in 1826, 1834, 1839, 1844 and 1850.
J.C. Dahl's artistic expression had parallels in the fierce independence felt by Norwegians and, although most of his Norwegian paintings were executed from memory, they never lost the spontaneity and intense feeling which tied him so strongly to his country. The fundamental romanticism and drama of Dahl's works was a decisive inspiration for the Danish nationalist romantic landscape painters of the 1830s and 1840s.
