Adolph Tidemand & Hans Gude - Bridal Procession on the Hardangerfjord

Bridal Procession on the Hardanger is one of the best known Norwegian paintings.[1][2] The 1848 painting was created by Hans Gude and Adolph Tidemand.[3] Gude painted the landscapes and Tidemand the bridal party.[4][5]

The painting is considered to be an excellent example of in Norwegian Romantic Nationalism.[6][7] A bridal procession runs in boats a fjord after the wedding. The bride and groom sit on the first boat; behind this, in the distance, other boats are distinguished with the guests of the wedding. The crew are dressed in typical costumes (bunad); The bride is crowned and the groom is perhaps the man who greets the hat.[8][9]

The painting was first presented in a tableau vivant at the Christiania Theater in 1849.[10] The soireé, in March 1849, included a theatrical group dressed in traditional costumes aboard a boat who performed a song by Andreas Munch with music by Halfdan Kjerulf, with the painting itself serving as scenery.[8][11]

The painting is 93 x 130 cm, and is preserved in the National Gallery (Norway) in Oslo.[5][12]
