The Royal family and artistic freedom? What do you think?

November 2nd, 2010 admin 10 comments

The Norwegian artist Haakon Gullvaag has painted the King and Queen of Norway. The painting of King Harald V was unveiled by the King himself in 2000 at Oslo City Hall. The painting of Queen Sonja was unveiled in 2002.
