Description
This three volume set represents a breakthrough in research on Johan Christian Dahl (1788-1857), the first Norwegian painter to achieve international renown. Volume 1 surveys his life and work, including a section of quotations from the artist's statements on art and excerpts from contemporary writings. Volumes 2 and 3 present a catalogue raisonné of Dahl's oil paintings, comprising 1300 entries, with full lists of doubtful attributions. This invaluable reference on Norwegian art is available as a cased set or in separate volumes.
