Anders Askevold (1834–1900) was a Norwegian painter celebrated for his luminous landscapes and serene animal studies, particularly of cattle in pastoral settings. Born in Askvoll, Norway, Askevold trained first in Bergen before studying in Düsseldorf under the influence of the Düsseldorf School, which emphasized detailed, romanticized depictions of nature.
Askevold’s works often combined dramatic Norwegian scenery—fjords, mountains, and valleys—with tranquil rural life, creating a harmonious balance between grandeur and intimacy. He achieved considerable success in Europe, exhibiting in Paris, Berlin, and other cultural capitals, and was awarded medals at several international exhibitions.
Askevold’s paintings, marked by soft light, meticulous detail, and a sense of calm, remain significant representations of 19th-century Norwegian art, reflecting both national identity and the era’s romantic vision of nature.
