Johann Salomon Wahl

Johann Salomon Wahl (1689, Chemnitz – 5 December 1765, Copenhagen) was a German artist who became a court painter in Denmark.

After that, he settled in Hamburg, where he worked as a portrait painter for the Holstein.

When Christian VI ascended the throne in 1730, Wahl was appointed as court painter.

He was among the first Northern artists to apply the new French styles of portrait painting, emphasizing one's position in society rather than their personality, although his portraits of those outside the nobility tended to be freer in style.
