"Se Forut (bergens Vag)" is a notable painting by the influential Norwegian realist artist Christian Krohg (1852–1925), who was a key figure in the transition from romanticism to naturalism in Norwegian art. The title of the painting translates to "Look Forward (Bergen's Wave)" in English, and it is one of Krohg's works that reflects his preoccupation with the sea and the lives of the people whose livelihoods depended on it, a theme common in his oeuvre.

The painting is characterized by its evocative portrayal of the sea, capturing the tumultuous waves and the sense of anticipation or foreboding suggested by the title. Krohg's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the emotional resonance of the scene, are evident in this work. The painting can be seen as a representation of the challenges faced by seafaring communities, a subject Krohg was intimately familiar with, having spent time in the coastal town of Skagen, Denmark, where he was part of the artists' colony known for their depictions of local fishermen and maritime scenes.

"Se Forut (bergens Vag)" is emblematic of Krohg's social realism, where he often depicted the struggles and hardships of the working class, especially those living and working in coastal areas. The painting is not only significant for its artistic qualities but also for its cultural and historical context, offering insight into the life and environment of 19th-century Norwegian coastal society.

As an artist, teacher, and later, director of the National Academy of Art in Oslo, Christian Krohg left a lasting impact on Norwegian art, influencing a generation of artists and contributing to the development of a distinctly Norwegian form of realism. "Se Forut (bergens Vag)" remains an important piece within Krohg's body of work, exemplifying his commitment to portraying the reality of his subjects with empathy and depth.
