"Midsummer Eve Bonfire" (Norwegian: Sankthansbål) is a notable painting by the Norwegian artist Nikolai Astrup, created in the early 20th century. Astrup, born in 1880 in Bremanger and raised in Jølster, is renowned for his distinctive style that blends elements of Norwegian folk art with the national romantic and neo-romantic movements, capturing the unique landscapes and cultural traditions of Western Norway.

The painting depicts the traditional celebration of Midsummer Eve, also known as St. John's Eve, which is held annually on June 23rd. This event is a significant part of Scandinavian culture, marking the summer solstice with communal festivities that often include the lighting of bonfires. In "Midsummer Eve Bonfire," Astrup captures the essence of this tradition, portraying the local community gathered around a large fire, which is a central element of the composition.

Astrup's work is characterized by a vivid use of color and a strong sense of atmosphere, which is evident in this painting. The flickering flames of the bonfire illuminate the faces of the participants and the surrounding landscape, creating a warm and dynamic scene. The painting also reflects Astrup's deep connection to the natural environment and his interest in the cycles of the seasons, which were recurring themes in his body of work.

"Midsummer Eve Bonfire" is considered one of Astrup's most important works and is a testament to his ability to convey the spirit of Norwegian rural life through his art. The painting is held in high regard for its cultural significance and is often cited as a prime example of Astrup's contribution to early 20th-century Norwegian art. It remains an enduring image of Norway's cultural heritage and is celebrated for its depiction of the joy and community spirit associated with the Midsummer Eve celebrations.
