Biografi i relation til Skagen
Lundh malede i Skagen i årene 1883 og 1889. Under sit først ophold boede han sammen med norske Christian Krohg (og svenske Johan Krouthen og Oscar Björk) på Markvej 2, hvor Holger Drachmann tidligere også har boet og som senere i 1884 blev til Michael og Anna Anchers hus.
Han var en ivrig og dygtig jæger, men ikke nogen flittig maler. Han betegnedes som meget doven, og fra stuen på Markvej kunne han male heden uden at skulle ulejlige sig udenfor.
Stod fadder for Helga Ancher ved dåben i oktober 1883.
Han opgav malerkunsten og blev i stedet forstmand.
Biography in relation to Skagen
Lundh painted in Skagen in the years 1883 and 1889. During his first stay he lived with the Norwegian Christian Krohg (and the Swedish Johan Krouthen and Oscar Björk) at Markvej 2, where Holger Drachmann had also lived earlier and which later in 1884 became Michael and Anna Ancher's house.
He was an avid and skilled hunter, but not a diligent painter. He was described as very lazy, and from his living room on Markvej he could paint the heath without having to bother outside.
Was godfather to Helga Ancher at her baptism in October 1883. He gave up painting and became a forester instead.
Charles Lundh (1856-1908) was a Norwegian painter who is remembered for joining the Skagen Painters who had created an artists' colony at Skagen in the north of Jutland, Denmark towards the end of the 19th century. Lundh spent the summers of 1883 and 1889 in Skagen. During his first visit, he lived together with Christian Krohg and the Swedish painters Johan Krouthén and Oscar Björck in the house on Markvej which Michael Ancher and his wife Anna bought in 1884. Lundh became Helga Ancher's godfather at her Christening in October 1883.
In 1883, Lundh travelled to Persia where he remained until his return to Skagen in 1888. There are however no records of his paintings from 1888. After his second stay in Skagen, he abandoned painting and turned to forestry
