A solitary traveller looks across a vast, mist-covered landscape towards a golden palace glowing on the distant horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the dark figure, the cool mountain landscape and the small point of golden light has made the painting an enduring image of hope, longing and the journey towards a distant goal.

Seen from behind, he pauses above a misty valley and looks towards the palace where a princess is being held by a troll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKittelsen leaves an enormous visual distance between Halvor and the palace. The glowing destination appears close enough to see, yet difficult to reach. This sense of distance allows the painting to work as both a fairy-tale scene and an image of ambition, perseverance and uncertain journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting belongs to a series of twelve works created in 1900. The series was acquired by Norway’s National Gallery that same year, and the images were later published as an illustrated book in 1911.
