Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CRE-DAH
DAHL, JOHANN CHRISTIAN (1778-1857) ,
Norwegian
  lands-
cape painter, was born in Bergen. He formed his style without much tuition, remaining at Bergen till. he was twenty-four, when he left for the better field of
Copenhagen
 , and ultimately settled in Dresden in 1818. He is usually included in the German school, although he was thus close on
forty
  years of age when he finally tdok up his abode in Dresden, where, he was quickly received into the
Academy
  and became professor. German landscape-painting was not greatly advanced at that time, and
Dahl
  contributed to improve it. He continued to reside in Dresden, though he travelled into
Tirol
  and in Italy, painting many pictures, one of his best being that of the " Outbreak of
Vesuvius
 , 1820." He was fond of extraordinary effects, as seen in his " Winter at
Munich
 ," and his " Dresden by. Moonlight;" also the " Haven, of
Copenhagen
 ," and the " Schloss of Friedrichsburg," under the same
condition
 . At Dresden may be seen many of his works, notably a large picture called " Norway," and a "
Storm
  at Sea." He was received into several academic bodies, and had the orders of Wasa and St Olaf sent him by the
king of Norway and Sweden.
