Nødhavn Ved Norskekysten (English translation: Port of Refuge on the Norwegian Coast[1] or Norwegian Harbor of Refuge[2]) is a painting by Norwegian romanticist painter Hans Gude completed in 1873.[3]

Exhibition history

The painting was first shown at the

Academy of Art in Berlin in 1896 while Gude was a professor at the Academy, and yet later still it was shown in Dresden in 1904, the year after Gude's death.[1]

Scene and style

The painting shows a

rowboat, would be reused by Gude in later works.[1]

Ownership

In 1875, the painting was purchased by the Bremen Art Society, although Gude incorrectly identifies them as the Stadtgalerie Bremen in his notes about the sale.[1] In 1907 the painting was transferred to the Kunsthalle Bremen.[1] In 1920 the painting was auctioned off due in part to changing tastes in art and the painting's large size (4.78 m2 or 51.5 sq ft[3]) which made it difficult to store.[1] In 1932 the painting was auctioned off again in Oslo where it was purchased by its current owner.[1]
