Michael Dahl

Michael Dahl was a Swedish portrait painter.

After several years of traveling in France and Italy, he finally settled in London in 1689, where he worked in the studio of Sir Godfrey Kneller. Dahl painted portraits of many aristocrats and some members of royal families. Michael Dahl soon became his teacher's chief rival and gained the patronage of Prince George of Denmark and his wife Princess Anne, whose portraits he also created. His studio practice flourished and he was the most popular portrait painter in London at the time.
