Christian Krohg: The People of the North at the Musée d’Orsay

Event Description

Continuing its exploration of Scandinavian painting, the Musée d’Orsay is presenting a retrospective devoted to the Norwegian painter Christian Krohg (1852-1925), whose work is very popular in the Nordic countries but almost unknown elsewhere. Following exhibitions on Edvard Munch in 2022 and Harriet Backer last year, the Orsay completes a trilogy devoted to Norwegian art with this expo highlighting Krohg’s links with the political and social struggles of his time.
