Family burial site of Norwegian landscape and marine painter Hans Fredrik Gude, a leading figure of the Düsseldorf School.

This burial site in Oslo commemorates Hans Fredrik Gude (1825–1903), one of Norway's most celebrated 19th-century painters. Associated with the Düsseldorf School, Gude created romantic landscape and marine paintings depicting Norwegian fjords and coastal scenes with an atmospheric quality ahead of his time. His work played a formative role in shaping a distinctly Norwegian visual tradition before the era of National Romanticism. The family grave is a quiet place of remembrance for an artist whose paintings still hang in major Scandinavian museums.
