🌲 **A monk, three trolls, and a forest full of secrets...**

**John Bauer (1882–1918)**
*Brother St. Martin and the Three Trolls (1913)*
Swedish artist 🇸🇪

Deep in an ancient Swedish forest, Brother Martin comes face to face with three mysterious trolls. But who should be afraid of whom?

Created in 1913 for a story by Emil Eliason in *Bland tomtar och troll*, this enchanting watercolour captures the strange beauty of Scandinavian folklore.

John Bauer had a remarkable gift for making his trolls seem as old as the forest itself, blending their curious figures into a world of towering trees, moss and shadows.

Over a century later, his magical woodland scenes still invite us to believe that something extraordinary might be hiding among the trees.

✨ **Bring a piece of Scandinavian folklore into your home.**

🌲 **What if the old Scandinavian forests were still home to trolls?**

**John Bauer (1882–1918)**
*Two Trolls (1909)*
Swedish artist

Few artists captured the mystery of Scandinavian folklore quite like John Bauer.

His trolls are strange, ancient creatures, seemingly made from the same moss, rocks and shadows as the forests they inhabit. In *Two Trolls*, Bauer invites us into a world where the boundaries between nature and fairy tale quietly disappear.

The painting has that unmistakable Nordic atmosphere: mysterious, slightly eerie, yet strangely comforting.

Bring a little Scandinavian folklore into your home with this beautiful art print, available in seven sizes.

Ever had the feeling you weren’t alone in the woods? 🌲

Theodor Kittelsen knew that feeling well. In *Forest Troll*, created around 1906, a huge troll seems to emerge from the forest itself. Look closely: where do the trees end and the creature begin?

This new addition to Hygge by Scandinavia brings Norwegian folklore to your walls, with enough mystery to keep you looking.

Would you give this forest dweller a place in your home?

How would you travel through an enchanted forest? A white bear seems a rather good choice.

In Theodor Kittelsen’s *White Bear King Valemon* from 1912, a princess rides through the mist on the back of a great white bear. In the Norwegian folk tale behind the picture, he is an enchanted king.

We’ve just added this art print to Hygge by Scandinavia. Its soft greens and pale light would feel at home beside a favourite reading chair, especially with a book of fairy tales within reach.

**A single toast, captured for more than a century. 🥂**

In *Hip, Hip, Hurrah! Artists’ Party at Skagen* (1888), P.S. Krøyer brings us straight into the world of the Skagen painters.

Danish, Norwegian and Swedish artists gather around the table beneath the trees. Glasses are raised, sunlight flickers through the leaves, and the white tablecloth catches flashes of green, gold and blue.

The scene feels spontaneous, but Krøyer worked on the painting for years, using sketches and photographs to build the composition. Even the small details tell stories. Young Helga Ancher sits with her mother, Anna Ancher, surrounded by some of the people who made Skagen one of Scandinavia’s most famous artistic communities.

Krøyer turned a private celebration into one of the great images of Nordic art: friendship, summer light and a group of artists enjoying the world they had created around them.

Swipe through the painting and discover some of the details hidden inside the celebration. →

The Battle of Stamford Bridge, 1870
Peter Nicolai Arbo 🇳🇴

One of the most dramatic moments in Viking history, painted more than 800 years after it happened.

At the centre of Arbo’s battlefield stands Harald Hardrada, King of Norway. According to tradition, he was struck in the throat by an arrow during the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066.

Around him, Arbo builds a scene of almost complete disorder: horses, shields, weapons, wounded men and soldiers moving in every direction. Yet your eye keeps returning to Hardrada in blue.

His death marked the collapse of the Norwegian invasion of England.

And the timing makes the story even more remarkable.

Just 19 days later, the victorious English army of Harold Godwinson fought another invasion force at Hastings, where England’s history changed again.

One year after Denmark’s defeat in the Second Schleswig War, Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann painted the aftermath.

There is no battlefield in A Wounded Danish Soldier (1865). No soldiers charging. No heroic victory.

Instead, a wounded man lies in bed while a woman sits beside him with a book in her hands. Medicine stands on the windowsill. Their hands meet quietly at the centre of the painting.

Baumann shifts our attention to something war paintings often leave outside the frame: the people who come home wounded, and those who care for them.

Look closely at the soldier’s face. He is the only figure looking directly at us.

What do you think his expression says?

Jotunheimen means “the home of the giants,” and on this map from 1917, the name feels entirely appropriate.

Ridges, glaciers, valleys and lakes crowd the surface. The dense shading turns the sheet into something almost three-dimensional, while routes and place names reveal a landscape that people were already exploring on foot.

Mountain maps offered more than geographical information. They helped transform remote terrain into a place that could be studied, crossed and remembered. Every line promised a pass, a summit or a difficult journey into the high country.

More than a century later, many of these names still guide hikers through Norway’s most famous mountain region.

This map captures Bergen at the edge of a major change.

It shows Bergen and neighbouring Aarstad in 1914. One year later, Årstad was incorporated into Bergen, greatly expanding the city’s territory and population.

Look closely and the familiar shape of Bergen begins to emerge: the dense centre gathered around the harbour, roads pushing outward and settlements occupying the narrow spaces between water and mountains.

A city map records streets and boundaries. It also preserves a moment when places that now feel inseparable were still administered as different communities.

Norwegian expressions become wonderfully strange when translated word for word.

If you are “helt på jordet,” you are completely out on the field. In practice, you have misunderstood everything.

When it is “bare blåbær,” there are only blueberries. Fortunately, that means the situation is easy and there is little to worry about.

And if you “tråkker i salaten,” you have stepped in the salad, usually by saying something awkward or embarrassing.

This poster gathers Norwegian sayings alongside their literal wording and actual meaning. Small pieces of language can reveal a surprising amount about humour, everyday life and the way a culture sees the world.

Which Norwegian expression is your favourite?
