Adolph Tidemand Biography

(b Mandal, 14 Aug 1814; d Christiania [now Oslo], 25 Aug 1876). Norwegian painter. During a provincial upbringing he made copies after prints of some of David Wilkie’s compositions. He trained in Copenhagen from 1832 to c. 1835 at the painting school of Johann Ludwig Gebhard Lund (1777–1867), and from 1832 to 1837 he studied with C. W. Eckersberg at the Kunstakademi, trying his hand at a variety of subjects. In 1837 he transferred to Düsseldorf, where he studied with several teachers and was influenced mainly by Theodor Hildebrandt (1804–74). Having by now decided to become a painter of Nordic historical subjects, he finished his first large-scale work, Gustav Vasa Addressing the People in the Church of Mora (1841), based on a theme from Swedish history. Tidemand then spent a year travelling and sketching, particularly in Italy, before returning to Christiania to settle for good in Norway.
