Peder Balke

Peder Balke, née Peder Andersen, was a Norwegian landscape painter and marinist.

Balke is one of the most prominent representatives of Romantic painting in Northern Europe. After receiving his art education at the Royal Academy of Art in Stockholm, he made a great journey to the northernmost parts of Norway in 1832, which inspired him for the rest of his life. Throughout this long itinerary, the artist made sketches and sketches that later developed into large canvases. Some of these paintings were bought by the Swedish royal family, some went to the Palace of Versailles and the National Gallery of Oslo. Balke also traveled to Germany and Russia, and visited Paris and London.

Peder Balke mainly depicted Arctic landscapes - snowy cliffs and mountains, midnight sun and northern lights, a sea full of danger with ice. But this wild, pristine and powerful beauty of Norway in the artist's view is full of drama and perhaps in need of protection.
