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.
