We continue our exploration of the National Gallery of Norway in Oslo.
In the previous post, we looked at the manner in which different elements of Nature have got captured in some of the paintings on display.
In this post, and in the next one, we admire the life-like depiction of human beings and their interactions with each other. Some are mythical, some are real and some are a product of the artist’s creative genius.
Woman Suckling an Infant (Ferdinand Bol)
Mary Magdalene penitent (Artisia Gentileschi)
A rustic party (David Teniers)
The Three Graces listening to Cupid’s song (Bertel Thorvaldsen)
The Farewell (Harriet Backer)
The Return of the Bear Hunter (Adolph Tidemand)
The Thinker (Auguste Rodin)
La Coiffure (Edgar Degas)
The Dreamer (Halfdan Egedius)
Portrait of Gerda (Richard Bergh)
Albertine to See the Police Surgeon (Christian Krohg)
Mother and Daughter (Edvard Munch)
The Girls on the Bridge (Edvard Munch)
‘Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.’
This is what Munch had to say. How very insightful!
