Bernt Tunold (February 25, 1877 – January 23, 1946)was a Norwegian painter. Influenced by his early years in a rural environment on the small island of Selja on the west coast of Norway, his paintings, initially inspired by the style of his countryman Nikolai Astrup,[3] are known for their depictions of the dramatic and contrast-filled nature and landscape of western Norway.Tunold was born on the island of Selja on Norway's west coast. His father, an emigrant from Stryn, and his mother, a native of Vanylven, had established a farm on the church grounds on the island. Bernt, the youngest of nine siblings, was named after his father and the island priest, Wilhelm Koren.
