  • Biography

    Carl Wilhelm Barth was a naval officer who was also a marine painter. Throughout his career at sea, he had firsthand knowledge of the sea with all of its vagaries and dangers. Perhaps he knew our coast better than any other artist. His fine observed seascapes were in addition to the Norwegian coast based on impressions from the British Isles and the Mediterranean.
