"Trollskogen" (Swedish for "The Troll Forest") is a renowned artwork by Swedish painter and illustrator John Bauer, known for his evocative depictions of landscapes and creatures from Scandinavian folklore. Created in 1907, this work is part of Bauer's celebrated contributions to the early 20th-century annual anthology "Bland Tomtar och Troll" (Among Gnomes and Trolls), which featured a collection of fairy tales and myths illustrated by various artists.

Bauer's "Trollskogen" stands out for its enchanting portrayal of a dense, mystical forest, a setting that is both inviting and foreboding. The painting captures the essence of Nordic folklore, with its dark, gnarled trees and the suggestion of hidden beings lurking in the shadows. The artist's use of muted colors and intricate details conjures a world where the boundary between the real and the mythical is blurred.

John Bauer's artistic style, characterized by a unique blend of Art Nouveau and Romantic Nationalism, is evident in "Trollskogen." His illustrations often feature trolls, elves, and other mythical creatures, rendered with a soft, ethereal quality that has captured the imagination of audiences for over a century. Bauer's work, including "Trollskogen," has had a lasting impact on the visual arts, influencing the depiction of fantasy in various media and contributing to the popular image of Swedish folklore around the world.

"Trollskogen" is not only a testament to Bauer's skill as an illustrator but also a cultural artifact that reflects the romanticized view of nature and the supernatural prevalent in early 20th-century Sweden. The painting remains an iconic piece of Nordic art and continues to enchant viewers with its timeless appeal and otherworldly beauty.
