EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "17th May, 1893" captures a momentous day in Norwegian history. Painted by Christian Krohg, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 132x132 cm and is held in a private collection. The image showcases the vibrant celebration of Norwegian Constitution Day, observed annually on the 17th of May. Also known as Syttende Mai or Nasjonaldagen, this significant day commemorates the signing of Norway's constitution in 1814. However, it wasn't until 1905 that Norway achieved full independence from Sweden. From an aerial view, we witness a sea of people gathered to honor their nation's heritage. The crowd is adorned with flags and umbrellas while bustling with energy and excitement. Men and women alike participate in the festivities, showcasing their national pride through colorful attire. This painting beautifully captures the essence of nationalism and political rights during this historical period. The movement and action depicted within the artwork convey a sense of agitation as Norwegians unite to celebrate their freedom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to that joyous day in Scandinavian history when Norway solidified its identity as an independent nation.
