Haag

Haag, CARL, German painter, born 20th April 1820, at Erlangen, studied at Munich (under Cornelins) and at Rome. In 1847 he settled in England, at the same time abandoning oil for water-colours. His earlier pictures represented scenes from Tyrol and Dalmatia, and from the life of the English royal family in Scotland. His later works have been mostly illustrative of oriental subjects, such as the life of the Bedouin of the desert, the ruins of Baalbek and Palmyra, and similar themes.
