Bertel Thorvaldsen created this bust of the Norwegian romanticist painter J.C. Dahl in 1821 whilst in Rome.
Johan Christian Claussen Dahl (1788-1857) was considered the first great romantic painter in Norway, the founder of the "golden age" of Norwegian painting, and, by some, one of the greatest European artists of all time.

Dahl occupies a central position in Norwegian artistic life of the first half of the 19th century.
