The slide show &#8220;The Magic Archipelago&#8221; is inspired by the same source \u2014 Lofoten&#8217;s beautiful and distinctive landscape.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">In 1827, district governor Blom wrote that Lofoten was &#8220;completely devoid of beauty&#8221;. The wild, craggy mountains, the barren earth and the impoverished settlements of unpainted wood were far from the accepted ideas of beauty. Peder Balke painted the Lofoten landscape during his trip to northern Norway in 1832, but was largely ignored by his contemporaries and was first recognised long after his death. Lofoten was simply nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lofoten&#8217;s breakthrough came in the late 19th Century <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when the southern Norwegian artist Otto Sinding began to paint large panoramic pictures of the Lofoten landscape in the early 1880s did Lofoten become known. The pictures of Lofoten attracted attention when they were exhibited in Kristiania (now known as Oslo), as well as in Germany and Paris. They inspired other artists to travel to Lofoten, and the ground was prepared for the golden age. &#8220;From Reine in Lofoten&#8221; is exhibited in Galleri Lofotens Hus, while a later version hangs in the Norwegian Parliament. Other well-known works are &#8220;Funeral in Lofoten&#8221; and &#8220;Snowy Landscape from Svolv\u00e6r&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tPractical information on Galleri Lofotens Hus\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"where-is-henningsv\u00e6r?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere is Henningsv\u00e6r?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"where-is-henningsv\u00e6r?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tHenningsv\u00e6r is in the Lofoten mountain chain in north west Norway and is an archipelago of islands connected by bridges.
