His talent was already evident when Dahl was 16 years old, however, it was only after service in the Swedish army that Dahl received artistic education. In 1873, after leaving the army, he went to Karlsruhe, where he studied under Hans Fredrik Gude und Wilhelm Riefstahl, and then to Düsseldorf, where his teachers were Eduard von Gebhardt and Wilhelm Sohn. Dahl became one of the most famous Norwegian painters, known primarily for his landscapes and genre paintings.
