Hans Andreas Dahl
Hans Andreas Dahl (born August 1, 1881 in Düsseldorf , † March 27, 1919 in Christiana ) was a Norwegian painter .
Life
As the son and student of Hans Dahl , he grew up in Düsseldorf and from 1888 in Berlin , but spent the summers in Balestrand in the Norwegian Fylke Sogn og Fjordane . In 1910 he had his own studio built across from his father's villa. During the war he moved to Christiania near the Voksenkollen sanatorium in winter. When the sanatorium went up in flames in 1919 and he wanted to help with the rescue, he contracted pneumonia, from which he died.
Dahl was married to the Englishwoman Lorna Bellew since 1908. With her he had two sons, one of whom fell and one went to England. His widow married Walter Normann, the son of the Norwegian landscape painter Adelsteen Normann .

All his life he had no other teacher than his father. He mainly painted fjord landscapes, which are difficult to distinguish from those of his father and are often wrongly passed off as his. Nevertheless, he seems to have been very, perhaps better, gifted than his father, as the latter even stated himself after the death of Hans Andreas.
He just lacked the chance to develop independently. His small landscape sketches, a number of which can still be seen in Balestrand today, are particularly attractive. His good portraits are also worth mentioning.
