Norwegian Wall Art

There are 260 artworks in the Norwegian culture on Archive Lane, every one free to preview and available as a print.

Norwegian art here centres on two things: the national Romantic landscape painting of the nineteenth century, which treated fjords, mountains and rural life as expressions of national identity during the union with Sweden, and the Symbolist and proto-Expressionist work that followed. Edvard Munch is the dominant figure, and his lithographs and woodcuts, made in many versions and states, are the part of his output most widely available. Johan Christian Dahl and the generation before Munch established the landscape tradition he reacted against.
