Heinrich Anton Dähling

Heinrich Anton Dähling (19 January 1773 – 10 September 1850) was a historical and genre painter born in Hanover.

In 1802 he visited Paris, and the study of the galleries there first induced him to attempt painting in oil.

From 1811 until his death he was a member of the Berlin Academy, and professor at the same from 1814 onwards.

One of his most famous pictures is The Descent from the Cross, the altar-piece at the Garrison Church in Potsdam.
