Harald Oskar Sohlberg (b Christiania [Kristiania from 1877; now Oslo], 29 Nov 1869; d Oslo, 19 June 1935) was a Norwegian Neo-romantic painter, particularly known for his depictions of the mountains of Rondane and the town of R�ros. Perhaps his most well-recognized painting is his 'Winter's Night in Rondane' from 1913-14.

Sohlberg decided to be a painter when young, but his father wished him to follow a thorough training as a craftsman. Sohlberg therefore enrolled at the Royal School of Drawing in Kristiania in 1885 under the interior designer Wilhelm Krogh (1829�1913) and stayed at the school until 1890. Subsequently, he attended night classes under the graphic artist and painter Johan Nordhagen (1856�1956) both in the autumn of 1906 and also from 1911 to 1917, when he concentrated on printmaking. Sohlberg painted his first pictures while staying in the Valdr�s region to the north-west of Kristiania in summer 1889. The following summer he painted with Sven J�rgensen (1861�1940) at Slagen near �sg�rdstrand, and in autumn 1891 he was a pupil of Erik Werenskiold and Eilif Peterssen in Kristiania. For some months during the winter of 1891�2 Sohlberg attended Kristian Zahrtmann�s art school in Copenhagen. He also studied for four months in 1894 under Harriet Backer and Eilif Peterssen.
