Carl Haag Biography

(b Erlangen, 20 April 1820; d Oberwesel, 24 Jan 1915). German painter, active in Britain. After studying in Nuremberg, he painted miniature portraits in Munich and Brussels. In 1847 he went to London to study English techniques of watercolour painting and evolved a method that he claimed achieved the ‘brilliancy of oil painting, combined with the tender-sweetness of water-colours’ (Millar, p. 144). From 1850 he exhibited at the Society of Painters in Water-Colours and was elected a full member in 1853. That year he was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to paint two large and elaborate watercolours commemorating deerstalking expeditions at Balmoral in Scotland (British Royal Col.); he returned to Balmoral in 1863 and 1864.
