Harald Dal

After a lengthy education both in Norway and abroad, he debuted as a painter at an exhibition in Oslo's Kunstnerforbundet art gallery in 1927.

He had a close friendship and collaboration with Ingeborg Refling Hagen and her circle,[4] and was one of the artists that decorated Stein School in Nes, which is now a museum.

Among other things, he painted a scene from the old Norse sagas in the hall at the school.

The painting De eligerede mænd (The Elected Men) is considered Dal's chief work.

[1][2] The artist's last major assignment was created for the Royal Palace in Oslo between 1955 and 1960, and it depicts Haakon VII taking his oath as king.

Harald Dal's monumental De eligerede mænd (The Elected Men) was painted from 1949 to 1957. It is regarded as the artist's main work and hangs in the Presidency Hall in Oslo City Hall . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
