HAAG, CARL (1820-1915), a naturalized British painter, court painter to the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was born at Erlangen in Bavaria, and trained in the academies at Nuremburg and Munich. He practised first as an illustrator and as a painter, in oil, of portraits and architectural subjects; but after he settled in England in 1847 he devoted himself to water colours. He painted landscapes of Tirolese and Dalmatian scenery, and in Great Britain many pictures of the life of the royal family at Balmoral. Towards the end of his professional career Carl Haag returned to Germany and died there in 1915.
