Theodor Kittelsen became known primarily as a draughtsman, and his illustrations for Asbjørnsen and Moe’s folk tales are in a class of their own. Kittelsen often combined his original and imaginative representations of mythical characters from legends and folk tales with depictions of landscapes, and the nature of East Norway and North Norway captured his interest in particular.

Christian Skredsvig belongs to what is called the Golden Age generation in the history of Norwegian art and is considered to be among Norway’s foremost landscape artists and portrayer of animals.

Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928) is one of Norway’s most renowned and beloved artists. He has made a name for himself both as a painter and a graphic artist, and is known most of all for his characteristic depictions of the lush, wild landscapes and traditional way of life of Western Norway.
