Hey, I'm all for an iconographic comparison. Any idea where to start?

And yes, Kittelsen worked in Germany. There was a tradition among Norwegian painters to train in Germany - and so a lot of them studied at the schools of Dresden and Düsseldorf. (I think a few were in Münich as well, but I might be wrong there) This tradition ended around 1910, when the Norwegian painters started to travel to Paris instead.

But even though, I am specializing on the art of this period

Oooh! Fascinating! Any particular artists or schools? I've mostly studied Romanticism.
