"Hardt Vaer" (translated as "Rough Weather" or "Hard Times") is a notable painting by Christian Krohg, a leading Norwegian realist painter, author, and journalist associated with the naturalist movement. Created in 1882, the painting is a prime example of Krohg's commitment to depicting the social realities of his time, particularly the struggles of the working class and the marginalized sectors of society.

The artwork captures the essence of life at sea, portraying the perilous conditions faced by fishermen. It reflects Krohg's fascination with the sea and the lives of the people whose livelihoods depended on it, a recurring theme in his body of work. "Hardt Vaer" is characterized by its dramatic composition, with a focus on the raw power of nature and the resilience of humans in the face of adversity.

Christian Krohg was part of the Skagen Painters, a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the Danish village of Skagen each summer. His works, including "Hardt Vaer," were instrumental in bringing attention to the plight of the lower classes and influencing social change through art. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural relevance, as it provides insight into the socio-economic conditions of Norway in the late 19th century.

"Hardt Vaer" is held in high regard within the canon of Norwegian art and is often cited as a key work in Krohg's oeuvre. It is frequently exhibited and studied as an example of the naturalist movement in Nordic art, and it continues to be celebrated for its technical skill and emotive storytelling. The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway, where it remains accessible to the public and continues to contribute to the discourse on art and society.
