Eilert Adelsteen Normann (1848–1918) was born on Vågøya in Bodin (today part of Bodø municipality). After initial studies in Copenhagen, he pursued an artistic career, moving to Düsseldorf in 1870 to study at the Academy of Art. Normann became known for his coastal landscapes of Northern and Western Norway, though he also painted urban scenes. By 1887, he had settled in Berlin and gained international recognition. As one of the first professional painters from Northern Norway, Normann played a key role in bringing his home region’s landscapes to a European audience.
