special attraction. A number of tbese artists have followed the
Danish school, and hare there learnt enthusiasm for old art. The
claims of the young artists upon their art are no less considerable
than those of the open-air painters. A more harmonious and severe
treatment of lines, a more cautious and restrained colouring, and
a fuller study of details are requirements that indicate maturity.
The most productive and harmonious of these young artists
H a l f d a n E g e d iu s , died at the age of twenty; but he had already,’
m a number of pictures and in his excellent drawings for Snorre’s
Royal Sagas, shown that his talent was of the first order. Among
his slightly older contemporaries we may mention S e v e e i n S e g e l c k e ,

Most of these artists are 'still quite young; but when we consider
what they and their slightly older fellow-artists have already
produced in the way of art that bears evidence of feeling, delight
m beauty, and the stamp of personality, we have every reason to'
hope for a bright future for Norwegian art.
