About the piece

Painted in 1848, this celebrated collaboration between Adolph Tidemand and Hans Gude is a cornerstone of Norwegian Romantic Nationalism. Tidemand provided the detailed figures in traditional folk dress, while Gude masterfully captured the monumental scale and luminous light of the Hardangerfjord. It remains one of the most beloved depictions of Scandinavian heritage and the sublime natural beauty of the North.
