Johan Christian Clausen Dahl (* 24. February 1788 in Bergen , † 14. October 1857 in Dresden , often IC Dahl or JC Dahl called) was a Norwegian landscape painter of the Romantic and close friend of Caspar David Friedrich . From 1818 to 1857 he lived and worked in Dresden. Dahl was a member of the art academies in Copenhagen (since 1827), Stockholm (since 1832) and Berlin (since 1834).

Life

Dahl's father Claus Dahl (1750–1823) was a fisherman and ferryman, his mother Elsa Birgitte Johnsdatter died in 1828. From 1803 to 1809 he completed an apprenticeship in decorating in Bergen / Norway. In 1811 he moved to the Copenhagen Art Academy , where he studied with Christian August Lorentzen , and moved to Dresden in 1818. In June 1820 he married Emilie von Block (daughter of the conservator Heinrich von Block and Caroline von Bege). Emilie von Block died in childbed in 1827. In January 1830 Dahl married his student Amalie von Bassewitz, who also died in childbed at the end of 1830. Dahl had a total of five children, only two of whom survived early childhood, these were his son Siegwald Johannes Dahl (1827–1902) and his daughter Caroline Elisabeth Dahl, later Bull (born 1822).

In Dresden, where he lived on the street An der Elbe (today's Terrassenufer ) in the same house as Caspar David Friedrich, Dahl became a member in 1820 and a professor of the Dresden Art Academy in 1824. In the summer of 1820 he traveled to Italy for ten months at the invitation of the Danish Crown Prince Christian Frederik. In Rome he joined Bertel Thorvaldsen's circle in 1821 and returned to Dresden in the same year.

He traveled back to his Nordic homeland five times (in the years 1826, 1834, 1839, 1844 and 1850). In 1847 he traveled to Paris and Brussels with his son, the painter Siegwald Dahl .

In 1837 Dahl published a work on Norwegian stave churches: “Monuments of a very developed wood construction art from the earliest centuries in the inner landscapes of Norway” (Dresden 1837). He also ensured that the church in the Norwegian town of Vang, which was planned for demolition - the Wang Stave Church - was bought by the Prussian king and rebuilt in Krummhübel in the Giant Mountains in Lower Silesia .

Dahl died on October 14, 1857 and was buried in the Dresden Elias cemetery in field A 21-14. On May 29, 1934, his bones were transferred to his birthplace in Bergen.
