Fine Art Tuesday

Hans Dahl born in Norway in 1849. Died in 1937.

I was talking with one of the workers at the gym I patronize on St Paddy's Day. I asked if she was Irish. She sighed "A little bit. But I am mostly Norwegian."

This post is for all of the Norwegians who sigh and apologize for being Vikings and whose people came from a place that was unforgiving and did not tolerate fools or idlers.



Dahl produced many paintings.

  1. The history of the Vikings is actually very interesting. The Icelandic Sagas are great stories and give a view of people beyond just 'raiders'.

    Thanks as always, ERJ.
