"Gyda Sender Bud Til Kong Harald" is a renowned painting by the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg, created in 1890. The work is a historical painting that depicts a scene from the legendary sagas of Norway, specifically an episode involving Gyda, a Norwegian noblewoman, and King Harald Fairhair. According to the Heimskringla, a collection of sagas about the Norwegian kings, Gyda Eiriksdottir was the daughter of King Eirik of Hordaland and was sought after by Harald for her beauty. However, Gyda refused to marry Harald until he became the sole king of Norway, thus setting him on a quest to unite the country.

Krohg, a leading figure in the naturalist movement in Norway, was known for his commitment to portraying social realities and historical events with a critical eye. In "Gyda Sender Bud Til Kong Harald," he captures the moment of Gyda's bold message to Harald, which is considered a pivotal point in the unification of Norway. The painting is characterized by Krohg's attention to detail, historical accuracy, and his ability to convey the psychological intensity of the moment.

The work is an example of Krohg's interest in national romanticism, a movement that sought to build a distinct Norwegian cultural identity in the late 19th century by drawing inspiration from Norse history and legends. "Gyda Sender Bud Til Kong Harald" not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also his engagement with themes of national importance and the role of women in shaping history.

Christian Krohg's painting is held in high esteem in Norwegian cultural heritage and is often cited as an important work in the study of Norwegian art history. It serves as a visual representation of a formative narrative in the nation's past and exemplifies the period's artistic and cultural currents.
