Painting by Theodor Kittelsen, 1900.

This print shows Pesta on a dark wooden staircase in one of Kittelsen’s Black Death images.

In Norwegian folklore, Pesta is a spirit of the plague, linked with the Black Death that passed through Norway in the 14th century. In Kittelsen’s work, she appears as a haunting figure moving through houses and villages, bringing illness and death. Because of that, this image is closely tied to plague history, dark folklore, and the bleak mood of old northern legend.

A striking poster for wall decor, libraries, dark interiors, and lovers of Norwegian folklore and plague history.

Reviews

We have 4 types of printing materials:

Handmade paper.

An absolutely unique product. Thick and dense paper (350 mg) with uneven edges. Not completely white, has natural beige shades. The print on this paper has a rather antique look and muted colors. Prints with an antique background look especially authentic on this paper.

Linen canvas.

Dense (300 - 400 mg), beautiful and natural material with a slight shine. Prints on canvas have a bright and clear color rendition.

Art matte paper.

Very thick paper ~ 1mm. Can be used without frame. Excellent color rendition.
Plywood.

We print on birch plywood with a thickness of 4 - 6 mm. Prints on plywood convey the image and color very accurately. These prints do not require a frame and are ready to hang as they have a hook on the back. The big advantage is that it is not susceptible to moisture; it can be hung in damp areas.
