Life

Knut Baade made his first art studies in Bergen with the portrait painter Leo Lehmann and in 1827 went to the academy in Copenhagen , where he studied with Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg . During this time he mainly painted motifs from the Nordic myth.

In 1830 he had to break off his studies for financial reasons and moved to Christiania , where he worked as a portrait painter , but also discovered the qualities of the local landscape for himself. After studying on the coast of Norway in the following years, he met the early Romanesque painter Johan Christian Clausen Dahl in 1836 and accompanied him to Dresden , where he worked for three years under the direction of his compatriot.

In 1839 Baade suffered an eye disease and had to travel back home. He did not return to Dresden until 1843 and then moved to Munich in 1845. Here Baade finally found his own style. He painted the rocky coasts and fjords of Norway illuminated by the moon in dramatic moving pictures.
