Created by Gerhard Munthe in 1895, this piece is housed in the esteemed Collection of Nasjonalmuseet for Kunst, Arkitektur og Design in Oslo. In this enchanting scene, Munthe masterfully combines elements from Germanic and Norse mythology to create an allegorical tale set among gnomes and trolls. The art nouveau style adds a touch of elegance to the composition while maintaining its traditional roots. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a fairy tale world where elves dance with gnomes and trolls lurk in the shadows. Munthe's use of gouache and tempera on paper brings vibrant colors to life, enhancing our immersion into his imaginative universe. Through "Doren i berget". Munthe invites us to explore ancient legends and sagas that have shaped Norwegian culture for centuries. This painting serves as a visual representation of these tales passed down through generations. With every glance at this remarkable print, we are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within Norwegian folklore. It is a testament to Munthe's skill as an artist that he can capture both the mystique and beauty found within these mythical realms.
