About the Book
This beautifully illustrated volume by Martin Blindheim explores Painting from Early Norwegian Churches, featuring full-color, high-quality reproductions, including full-page and double-page plates.

The book focuses on religious paintings from 13th- and 14th-century Norway, particularly those found in wooden stave churches. Blindheim provides an informative introduction, examining altar frontals, ceiling decorations, and wall paintings, while placing them within the broader cultural and artistic context of the North Sea region.

Despite its compact size, the book offers rich visual and historical insight, making it a valuable resource for those interested in medieval art, religious iconography, and Scandinavian heritage.
