Fight for survival

The painting depicts a picturesque scene in the city during a winter day. A group of people, apparently family members and friends of different age groups, gather on a snowy street. Some are carrying baskets and buckets, suggesting that they may have just finished shopping or are performing their daily tasks. The outlines of buildings covered in snow can be seen in the background, and the sky is a mixture of skies reflecting the winter chill. All of this creates a calm but vivid image of everyday life in a historic setting.

Christian Krohg (1852-1925) was a Norwegian naturalist, painter, illustrator, writer and journalist. He came from an influential family. His father, Georg Anton Krohg, was a lawyer and his grandfather was a cabinet minister. Following the example of his father, Christian studied law at the University of Oslo and arts at the University in Baden. He found great inspiration in the ideas of the Realists and depicted scenes from everyday life – rather from its dark, socially underrated side. Well-known are the images Survival, Mother with Child, or any work related to his scandalous novel Albertine. Krohg was the founding editor of the journal of the Czech Impressionists and was also a journalist in Oslo. Finally, he became the director and professor at the Norwegian Academy of Arts.
