1855 – 1938

Norwegian painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He studied in Christiania (later Kristiania, now Oslo) in 1873-75 under Julius Middelthun (1820-1886), who discovered his unusual gift for drawing, and then at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich (1876-79). Among his early paintings, Female Half-nude (1877; Bergen, Billedgalleri) is typical in revealing an interest in individual personality and psychology even in a traditional academic subject.Show more
