About
After Johan Christian Dahl, Adolph Tidemand (1814-1876) is considered the first Norwegian artist with international status. He was celebrated at the world exhibitions in London and Paris, and he sold paintings to buyers from large parts of the world; Europe, Russia and America. This biography sheds light on Adolph Tidemand's life and work and Norway's cultural and political development from the beginning of the 19th century to the first part of the 20th century. The cultural bridge between Norway and Germany is a central theme, where the connection Mandal-Düsseldorf is highlighted as particularly important for development in the field of art and culture, in both cities and both countries. The biography highlights Adolph Tidemand's work with motifs from Norwegian Christian life. Together with Hans Gude, Adolph Tidemand is considered the great, unifying figure during the national romanticism in Norwegian art. And it is often the national romantic Adolph Tidemand we know best. But the biography sheds light on the fact that Adolph Tidemand also commented on social differences in society, and that he was concerned with the living conditions of the individual. Etter Johan Christian Dahl regnes Adolph Tidemand (1814-1876) som den første norske kunstner med internasjonal status. Han ble feiret på verdensutstillingene i London og Paris, og han solgte malerier til kjøpere fra store deler av verden; Europa, Russland og Amerika. Denne biografien belyser Adolph Tidemands liv og verk og Norges kulturelle og politiske utvikling fra begynnelsen av 1800-tallet til første del av 1900-årene. Kulturbroen mellom Norge og Tyskland er et sentralt tema, der forbindelsen Mandal-Düsseldorf løftes frem som spesielt viktig for utviklingen på kunst- og kulturens område, i begge byer og begge land. Biografien fremhever Adolph Tidemands verk med motiver fra norsk kristenliv. Sammen med Hans Gude regnes Adolph Tidemand som den store, samlende skikkelsen under nasjonalromantikken i norsk kunst. Og det er gjerne nasjonalromantikeren Adolph Tidemand vi kjenner best. Men biografien belyser at Adolph Tidemand også kommenterte sosiale forskjeller i samfunnet, og at han var opptatt av enkeltmenneskets livsvilkår.
