About the piece

Theodor Kittelsen’s Soria Moria series is a cornerstone of Norwegian national identity, capturing the mystical allure of the country's folklore. In this 1900 oil painting, the hero Ashlad pauses on a rugged summit to behold the legendary golden palace emerging from a sea of deep blue shadows and ethereal mist. It is a masterful study of light and longing, epitomizing the Neo-romantic movement's fascination with nature and myth.
