Join Patti Goke, VGM and explore the life and art of Lars Aslakson Trageton (1770-1839). Trageton is credited for bringing rosemaling from Hallingdal, where he was born and grew up, westward, where he is credited for starting a regional style in Ryfylke, that is usually called Rogaland.

Together we will look at some of his work and discuss his designs, colors, and the elements of flowers, teardrops, scrolls, and everything else that makes up his unique designs.

We can see the influence of Trageton on the work of Bergljot Lunde, who was a rosemaler and teacher from this area. We will look briefly at her work as influenced by Trageton.

Join Patti Goke, VGM as she introduces you to the painting of Halvor Persgard. Persgard (1810-1880) was a rosemaler from Numedal, Norway. Of the many painters who lived in Numedal, there isn’t much known about him. This is a bit unusual because he actively painted for about 40 years in Uveal, Nore, Collage and Veggli areas of the valley. He was self taught and has a distinctive and was probably influenced by the work he saw from the painters that came to the valley, namely from Hol, Hallingdal and Tinn, Telemark.
