Lauritz Haaland
Born : 1855Died : 1938Documented citizenships : Norway
Lauritz Haaland (1855–1938) was a Norwegian marine painter born on Kvitsøy, where he also died. Trained in shipbuilding in Bergen, he attended Knud Bergslien's painting school and the school of arts and crafts in Kristiania in 1880. His study journeys included Hamburg and Berlin. Apart from a period in Kristiania between 1902 and 1908, he worked mainly on his native island.
He depicted the North Sea in stormy weather and in calm conditions, often making fishing boats, steamships or seabirds the focal points of his compositions. His knowledge of vessels appears in carefully described hulls and rigging. Herring, mackerel and lobster fishing became recurring subjects. His paintings therefore combine maritime landscape with observation of coastal livelihoods and the working routines of communities whose lives were shaped by the sea.
