Lars Hertervig (February 16, 1830 - January 6, 1902), a Norwegian painter, was a visionary in the art world, known for his semi-phantasmagorical oeuvre characterized by motifs from the coastal landscape of Ryfylke, a traditional district of Norway. His work is considered one of the bright shining stars in the galaxy of Norwegian painting. Hertervig's beginnings were humble. He was born in 1830 in Borgøy, in the municipality of Tysvær on the west coast of Norway, the son of poor Quaker farmers. Despite financial challenges, Hertervig pursued his artistic ambitions. He enrolled at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art in 1852, where he studied under the direction of Hans Gude. However, his studies burdened him, and after a cruel prank by his fellow students, Hertervig suffered a temporary nervous breakdown in 1854. This forced him to return to his native Stavanger, where he was committed to a mental institution in 1856.
The last 30 years of his life were marked by financial difficulties that eventually led him to the poorhouse. Nevertheless, he held on to his passion for painting, even if he had to resort to watercolors and gouache on paper, which were not actually intended for painting. Using rye flour paste, he glued pieces of paper together and continued to create his fascinating works despite all odds. Despite his artistic genius, Hertervig received recognition only posthumously. Twelve years after his death, his works were presented and praised at the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition in Kristiania, now Oslo. Hertervig's life and work have inspired artists and writers. Odd Kvaal Pedersen immortalized his life in the 1987 documentary "Narren og hans mester." Paal-Helge Haugen honored him in 1995 in "Hertervig: An Opera," and Jon Fosse created a tribute to Hertervig with his novel "Melancholia I" and its sequel "Melancholia II."
In tribute to his artistic achievement, we reproduce Hertervig's remarkable works as high-quality art prints. Each of these art prints reflects the creative brilliance and distinctive talent of this extraordinary artist. Our art prints serve not only as a reminder of his incredible talent, but also as a testament to his unwavering spirit and perseverance amidst the challenges life threw at him. These art prints are more than mere copies; they are a token of our deep admiration and appreciation for Lars Hertervig's contribution to the world of art.
