EMANUEL VIGELAND AND THE “TOMBA EMMANUELLE”

Special issue. NORWAY–RUSSIA: ON THE CROSSROADS OF CULTURES

EMANUEL VIGELAND (1875-1948) WAS A RENOWNED NORWEGIAN ARTIST, ESPECIALLY FAMOUS FOR HIS STAINED GLASS WORKS AND FRESCO PAINTINGS. THE VERSATILITY OF HIS TALENT WAS MANIFESTED IN THE VARIETY OF MATERIALS HE WORKED WITH TO CREATE AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF ARTWORK. HOWEVER, EMANUEL IS OFTEN OVERSHADOWED BY HIS BETTER KNOWN BROTHER GUSTAV VIGELAND AND BY EDVARD MUNCH, ANOTHER GREAT ARTIST OF THE SAME PERIOD.
