August Cappelen

Norwegian, 1827–1852

August Cappelen (1827–1852) était un peintre norvégien reconnu pour ses paysages romantiques mélancoliques et dramatiques. Né à Skien, en Norvège, il venait de familles éminentes impliquées dans les affaires et la politique et a grandi au manoir de Holden à Telemark. Il a étudié la peinture de paysages à Düsseldorf et était associé à l'école de peinture de Düsseldorf. Cappelen a voyagé à travers la Norvège pour s'inspirer, et ses années les plus productives furent de 1850 à 1852, avant sa mort d'un cancer gastrique à l'âge de 25 ans.
