Alternative color themes for Dahl’s View of Dresden by Moonlight (1839) exhibited in New Masters Gallery, Dresden and early version of the painting (1838) stored in The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Norway . As Dahl wrote in 1828 to the director of the Dresden academy, he found the area around Dresden useful for nature studies, but the “real thing” was always missing; that was something he could only find in his mountainous homeland. He viewed himself as a “more Nordic painter” with a “love for seacoasts, mountains, waterfalls, sailboats, and pictures of the sea in daylight and moonlight.”
