Hans DAHL
1849–1937, Norway
Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on canvas, Landscape with boat and figures, 58x82 cm, signed "Hans Dahl." Analysis of the painting did not show any changes, but in the lower right corner seems slightly duller than the painting in general. Microscopic examination shows that the signing is fused with the painting. This indicates that the signature is painted there, then the painting was performed. The signature would then be original. It is probably a copy made in the 1890s. The painting is performed on a type of canvas started to be used from 1870 to 1880. It is naive painted by, probably, a provincial painter who lacked an eye for detail. The painting is thus a copy without it having stated. Hans Dahl was a famous Norwegian artist. He was a pupil of Hans Gude, who belonged to the Dusseldorf School, active 1840-60. This painting is typical Norwegian. The District Court's assessment: The painting has not been described as a copy. Therefore, it is a counterfeit.

\"Dahl bodde i Berlin fra 1888, men reiste hver sommer til Balestrand for å lage skisser av Vestlandsnaturen. Fra 1919 var han bosatt i Balestrand.\" Gaustad side 436
Hans Dahl var utdannet offiser, men bestemte seg istedet for å bli maler. Han gikk i lære hos Hans Gude i Karlsruhe 1872-73. Han bosatte seg senere i Berlin i 1888 og bodde der frem til 1919. Dahls tilknytning til Norge og da spesielt til Balestrand gjorde at han hvert år så lenge han bodde i Berlin, reiste til Balestrand for å lage skisser av Vestlandsnatur. Dahls bilder stod høyt i kurs hos Keiser Wilhelm I og særlig hos Keiser Wilhelm II som kjøpte mange
av bildene hans og besøkte ham på sine Norgesreiser.
