Dahl, Michael, 1659-1743 : Swedish painter, born in Stockholm on 29 September 1659. At the age of 23, he moved to London for a three-year stay and, from 1685, travelled and worked in Paris, Venice, Rome and Frankfurt. In 1689, he returned to London and established a practice as a portrait painter.
His series of admirals are in the National Maritime Museum, London. These were commissioned by Queen Anne and Prince George. Following Godfrey Kneller's death in 1723, Dahl had the largest portrait practice in the country.
He died in London on 20 October 1743.
