DAHL, HANS (1849-1910), Norwegian painter, was born at Hardanger on Feb. 19, 1849. After serving in the Swedish army he studied art at Karlsruhe and at Dusseldorf in Germany, being a notable painter especially of landscape and genre. In 1889 he settled in Berlin. His work had considerable humour, but his col ouring was hard and rather crude. His pictures were very popular in Norway.
