Intussen, in het leven van Johan Christian Dahl
Het hele leven1818
Friendship with Caspar David Friedrich
Friedrich, fourteen years his senior, helps him establish himself in the city and becomes a close friend: the two share a love of nature and a profound contempt for academic clichés. Together with Friedrich and Carl Gustav Carus, Dahl will become one of the Dresden painters who exerted a decisive influence on German Romantic painting.
September 1818
Moves to Dresden
Having received a special stipend from Prince Christian Frederik, Dahl travels to Saxony and settles in Dresden, bringing letters of introduction to the city's leading citizens and artists. That same year he writes to the prince that he is representing nature above all in its freedom and wildness.
