"Det Gamle Hus" (English: "The Old House") is a notable painting by Christian Krohg, a leading Norwegian realist painter, illustrator, author, and journalist. Krohg, born in 1852 and active during the latter part of the 19th century, was a prominent figure in the transition from romanticism to naturalism in Norwegian art. His works often depicted the lives of the working class and the poor, imbuing his subjects with a sense of dignity and social commentary.

"Det Gamle Hus" is emblematic of Krohg's style and thematic focus. The painting presents a dilapidated building that stands as a testament to the passage of time and the lives that have unfolded within its walls. Through his masterful use of light, shadow, and texture, Krohg conveys a sense of both the resilience and the decay of the structure. The house, often interpreted as a metaphor for the human condition, is rendered with a poignant attention to detail that invites viewers to reflect on themes of memory, history, and the inexorable march of time.

The painting is significant within Krohg's oeuvre as it encapsulates his concern with social realism and his ability to evoke emotion through everyday scenes and objects. "Det Gamle Hus" is not only a representation of a physical space but also a narrative device through which Krohg engages with broader societal issues of his era, such as urbanization and the changing landscapes of Norway.

As with many of Krohg's works, "Det Gamle Hus" is appreciated for its historical value and its contribution to the development of naturalism in Scandinavian art. The painting is frequently studied for its technique and its place within the context of Krohg's life and the cultural milieu of the time. It remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of Norwegian painting and the social consciousness that characterized much of Krohg's art.
