Nikolai Astrup (August 30, 1880 - 1928) was a Norwegian painter who primarily depicted the landscapes of his birthplace - the West Country tracts - often his own elaborate gardens.

He trained at the Norwegian Royal Academy in Oslo (then Kristiania), but did not enjoy the school. Instead he took private lessons in Norway and later with Christian Krohg at the Académie Colarossi in Paris.

Astrup had lung issues his whole life - asthma, tuberculosis, and finally pneumonia which killed him after a reckless journey by open car.

The Kristiania Bohemians were a political and cultural movement of naturalist and neo-romanticist artists in the 1880s centered in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway. They got their name from the 1886 book Fra Kristiania-bohêmen by nihilist Hans Jæger, the leading figure of the movement, a book that caused him to be convicted and sentenced for infringement of modesty and public morals, and for blasphemy. Other figures in the movement were Christian and Oda Krohg, and Edvard Munch was connected as well.

The Kristiania Bohemians were rebelling against the prevailing social structure, and held loud discussions on morals, sex, drugs and free love. They believed that institution of marriage should be abolished and that there should be full sexual freedom between the sexes. The Kristiania Bohemians are also known for their self-satirizing Nine Bohemian Commandments (1889).

Paintings: Hans Jæger by Edvard Munch, Oda Krohg by Christian Krohg, Absinthe Drinkers and Kristiania Bohême II 1895 by Edvard Munch

What's up Bergen? I'm here to do two things: be a playwrite and director! I've been hired! After living in the student quarters in Kristiania, this is definitely a step up. Current goal: create a national drama so that our dramatic arts aren't totally dominated by Eugène Scribe.

#feud with france #this may take several years #specifically from 1851ish to 1857 when I move back to Kristiania

Marie Høeg (15 April 1866 – 22 February 1949) was a Norwegian photographer and suffragist. Høeg's published work was traditional in nature, while her private photography, including images of and created with her partner, Bolette Berg, challenged ideas of gender. She was the founder of the Horten Discussion Association, which is still active today. Høeg also started the Horten Branch of the National Association for Women's Right to Vote, the Horten Women's Council and the Horten Tuberculosis Association.

Høeg was born in Langesund on 15 April 1866. She was a photography student in Brevik and completed her photography apprenticeship in 1890.

From 1890 to 1895, Høeg lived in Finland, working as a photographer in Ekenäs and Hanko. Here, she was greatly influenced by the Finnish women's rights movement.

Høeg moved from Finland to Horten in 1895 together with Bolette Berg. Berg was five years younger than Høeg and had trained as a photographer, probably while living in Finland. Høeg and Berg set up and ran their own photography studio, which was named Berg & Høeg. Høeg used their studio not only for photography, but also as a meeting place for women interested in feminism and women's suffrage.

Høeg and Berg moved to Kristiania (present-day Oslo) in 1903 and continued working as professional photographers there, mostly producing scenic and portrait post cards.

The two founded the publishing company Berg og Høghs Kunstforlag A.S., publishing books such as the three-volume Norske Kvinder, which concerns the topic of the history of Norwegian women.

Marie Høeg died in Oslo on 22 February 1949.

Many of her glass negatives were discovered after her death inside a barn in the 1980s. The barn was on the property of a farm where Berg and Høeg lived at the end of their lives. A series of negatives in a box labelled "private" contained photographs of Berg and Høeg dressed in men's clothes, smoking, and wearing mustaches. These 440 glass negatives are now in the collection of the Preus Museum in Horten, Norway.

Queen Josefina of Sweden and Norway by Sophie Adlersparre (oil on canvas, 1856)

Joséphine Maximiliana Eugenia Napoleona of Leuchtenberg was born in March 1807 in Milan, the daughter of a French general.

On 23 August 1822, Crown Prince Oskar came on a visit to Eichstätt in Bavaria, where he met Joséphine. The Crown Prince fell in love with her, and asked for her hand in marriage a few days later.

On 19 June 1823, her Swedish marriage ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral. Her official name became Josefina.

Josefina contributed towards the construction of the first Catholic church in Stockholm in 1837, and towards establishing the Catholic congregations in Gothenburg and Kristiania. She established and supported many philanthropic associations, including the Josephinahemmet home in Blackeberg, Stockholm, and she worked hard to help poor mothers and widows with children.

When Oskar ascended to the throne in 1844, Josefina gained increased political influence. She was the king's only truly loyal advisor.

IDK why we changed the name from Kristiania it was probably a Danish thing and I'm as big a Dane-clowner as the next guy but "Oslo" just doesn't have the same umph.... "Det var i den tid jeg gikk omkring og sultet i Oslo" just doesn't have the same impact, no?
