Harald Alfred Hauge (5 February 1876 – 2 February 1901) was a Norwegian painter associated with Symbolist landscape painting. Born in Kristiania (present‑day Oslo), he was the son of merchant Alfred Theodor Gustav Hauge and Ellen Lætitia Read; after both parents died in his youth, he was raised by Captain Peter Berg.
In 1894 Hauge joined the summer artists’ colony known as Vågåsommeren, a gathering of ten painters in the Gudbrandsdalen region that included Thorvald Erichsen, Johanna Bugge, Halfdan Egedius, Kristen Holbø, Lalla Hvalstad, Kris Laache, Alice Pihl, and Oluf Wold‑Torne. His dark‑coloured Symbolist landscapes, noted for strong lyrical qualities, earned him recognition among the group.
Hauge pursued formal study under Kristian Zahrtmann in Copenhagen beginning in November 1894 and returned to Norway briefly in 1895 before resuming his studies in Copenhagen in 1896. Frequent ill health marked his short career; he underwent an operation in January 1899. In February 1899 he moved to Paris, where, on the recommendation of Oda Krohg, he relocated to the artist colony at Marlotte. There he met Paul Cézanne and dedicated himself to painting, producing works such as Night in a French Village (Natt i fransk landsby), now held by the National Gallery of Norway.
After a period of work in Åsgårdstrand and Telemark, Hauge returned to Copenhagen and later traveled to Spain in early 1901 with Norwegian government support. He died in Madrid on 2 February 1901 at the age of 25.
His oeuvre, though limited by his brief life, is represented in the collection of the National Museum of Norway. Hauge is remembered for his contribution to Norwegian Symbolist painting and for his participation in the influential Vågåsommeren artists’ community.
