Johannes Von Ditten - HISTORY
Johannes Von Ditten was born in Kristiania (now Oslo).
He started his career as a trained translator, but in his youth he also delved into journalism and worked for a short time for Kristiania’s newspaper “Dagen”.
After leaving journalism, he began an artistic journey and gained considerable recognition for his depictions of the natural landscapes of western and northern Norway.
