John Bauer Two Trolls Poster
John Bauer (1882–1918) is closely associated with the forests, trolls and fairy-tale creatures that filled Swedish illustrated books in the early twentieth century. His art often treats the forest as more than a backdrop: trunks, rocks, moss and shadow become part of the character of the scene.
Two Trolls, dated 1909, is held in the collection of Göteborgs konstmuseum. The work belongs to the period when Bauer was developing the visual language that would make his trolls instantly recognisable: oversized bodies, heavy silhouettes, expressive faces and a close connection to the surrounding landscape.
“A good Scandinavian art print should grow richer the longer you live with it.”
— Hygge by Scandinavia
That quality suits Bauer particularly well. His pictures can feel playful at first glance, but the longer you look, the more the forest seems to take over. The trolls appear ancient, curious and slightly melancholy, as if they belong to a world that existed long before the viewer arrived.

A Nordic Forest Print with Storybook Character
The square composition works especially well in reading corners, bedrooms, studies and gallery walls. Its subdued palette pairs naturally with warm wood, soft textiles and neutral wall colours, while the troll motif adds character without becoming visually loud.
