Canvas with the painting Forest troll by Theodor Kittelsen from 1906.
Trolls are natural beings from Norse mythology who, according to legend, are descended from ancient giants. Trolls usually live in mountains and have been described as anything from large and furry with long noses, ears and tails to being able to look like any human. Although humans have sometimes had a good exchange with the trolls as labor or advisors, they are rarely helpful and can be dangerous. According to old Old Norse writings, the first trolls appeared in the Nordics during the Viking Age. The folk belief that the forests and the inaccessible mountains were inhabited by evil creatures persisted for several hundred years. There were even laws made for trolls.
Theodor Kittelsen is a Norwegian artist who, like the Swedish John Bauer, is known for his fairytale motifs with goblins and princesses. His works are still iconic in many Nordic homes, but even though he is celebrated as a national artist in Norway, he is hardly known outside of Scandinavia.
