The Life of August Cappelen
Hermann August Cappelen was a Norwegian painter born in Skien, Norway. He was the son of Diderik von Cappelen and Margaret Noble Severine Henriette Løvenskiold, from families involved in merchant, land owner, civil servant, and political roles. Growing up at Holden, a manor in Ulefoss in the Grenland district of Telemark, he later studied in Düsseldorf at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer in landscape painting class from 1846 to 1850.

His paintings featured landscapes with forests, lakes, and streams, utilizing deep moss green tones and forms of nature such as trees and mountains.
