Theodor Kittelsen

Alas, though he was loved by the Norwegian people, the established art critics and publishers failed to thoroughly appreciate his work. Theodor Kittelsen died famous but utterly poor, and it was only after his death that he was awarded an artist´s salary by the state, the money being paid out to his widow, Inga Kristine (born Dahl) and their 9 children.

Wow, what a wide variety of styles he could do, too.

I think that my favorite is The Princess picking Lice from the Troll. Quite a picture!
