Hans Andreas Dahl painted the Norwegian fjords as a place where people actually lived and worked, and that mix of water, weather, and everyday figures is what carries his landscape work so well into counted cross stitch.
Dahl was Norwegian, born in 1881 and died in 1919, and the fjords were his subject through and through. A stormy crossing with a boat pushing across open water, a girl walking home in summer with her rake, the long reach of the Hardanger Fjord: these are the scenes his name is attached to. He worked in a short life, and the paintings that survive keep returning to the same coastline.
Other nineteenth-century painters: William Stanley Haseltine, Jean Pierre Francois Lamoriniere, and Adelsteen Normann.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Hans Andreas Dahl art prints are easy to find.
