About the Original (1893)

Christian Krohg painted Leif Erikson Discovering America in 1893, depicting the Norse explorer who reached North America around 1000 AD — nearly 500 years before Columbus. The painting is a landmark of Norwegian national romanticism and remains one of the most recognised works of Viking-age historical art.
