"Troll" refers to a series of artworks by Theodor Severin Kittelsen (1857–1914), a renowned Norwegian artist known for his illustrations of fairy tales, legends, and the natural landscape. Kittelsen's depictions of trolls have become iconic in Norwegian folklore and have played a significant role in shaping the visual representation of these mythical creatures not only in Scandinavia but also internationally.

Born in Kragerø, Kittelsen received his artistic education in Germany, where he studied at the School of Art and Design in Munich. His work was deeply influenced by the rich tradition of Norse mythology and the rugged landscapes of Norway. Throughout his career, Kittelsen produced a variety of paintings, drawings, and watercolors that featured trolls in their natural habitat, often intertwined with the dark, mysterious forests and mountains of the Norwegian countryside.

Kittelsen's trolls range from the mischievous and whimsical to the ominous and grotesque, reflecting the diverse nature of troll legends in Scandinavian folklore. Some of his most famous troll-themed works include "Nøkken" (The Water Sprite), where a troll-like creature lurks in a pond, and "Skogtroll" (Forest Troll), which depicts a large, brooding troll amidst a forest backdrop. His illustrations were also used in the book "Norske Folkeeventyr" (Norwegian Folk Tales), compiled by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, further cementing his influence on the visual culture of Norwegian folklore.

Kittelsen's art has had a lasting impact, not only in the field of illustration but also in popular culture, where his trolls continue to inspire literature, film, and other artistic expressions. His work is celebrated for its ability to capture the eerie and enchanting atmosphere of the tales that have been passed down through generations in Norway. Today, Kittelsen's trolls stand as a testament to his skill as an artist and his deep connection to the cultural heritage of his homeland.
