Christian Krohg, The People of the North

The exhibition devoted by the Musée d'Orsay to the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg is the artist's first retrospective outside Scandinavia, following several exhibitions in Oslo and Lillehammer in 2012, and Copenhagen in 2014. By highlighting Krohg's committed, naturalistic works, the museum offers a new perspective on Norwegian art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
