Shared grave of Norwegian Realist painters Christian and Oda Krohg — key figures in Scandinavian art and the Skagen movement.

Christian Krohg (1852–1925) was a leading Norwegian Realist painter, journalist, and member of the Skagen artists' colony in Denmark. His 1886 painting Albertine, depicting prostitution in Kristiania, caused a national scandal and remains one of the defining works of Norwegian art. His wife Oda Krohg (1860–1935) was also a painter and a prominent figure in Oslo's artistic life around the turn of the century. Their shared grave in Oslo is a quiet memorial to two individuals who shaped Scandinavian cultural history.
