Carl Haag (20 April 1820 – 24 January 1915) was
a Bavarian-born painter who became a naturalized British subject and was court
painter to the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Haag was
born in Erlangen, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, and was trained in the Academy of
Fine Arts in Nuremberg and at Munich. He first practised as an illustrator and
as a painter in oils of portraits and architectural subjects; but in 1847 he
settled in England, after which he devoted himself to watercolours, and in 1850
was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours
before becoming a full member in 1853. He travelled a lot, especially in the
East, and made a considerable reputation by his firmly drawn and carefully
elaborated paintings of Eastern subjects.
Towards the end of his professional career, Carl Haag left
England and returned to the newly united German Empire, where he died in
Oberwesel. More Carl
