St. Hansbål ved Jølstervatnet, ” 1908, by Norwegian art-
ist Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928). Astrup was born in Jøl-
ster, Norway, about 90 miles north of Bergen, where he
spent most of his life. Kode, Bergen’s large art gallery
complex, calls him “one of Norway’s most beloved art-
ists.” Local landscape and folklore strongly influenced
his work. With Edvard Munch, he was an important in-
novator in the woodcut medium.
