| The term rosemaling or "rose painting" refers to a style of decorative painting characterized by vine foliage and flowers but also including live figure representations and landscapes in religious and secular scenes. It was used to decorate furnishings and equipment, drinking vessels and eating utensils, and the interiors of houses and storehouses.
Several different styles of rosemaling exist, each named for the region in which it originated. The most common styles seen today are Telemark, Hallingdal and Rogaland. |
