Jacob Gløersen

He was the son of parish priest Johan Gløersen (1810-1890) and Charlotte Cecilie Dahl (1812-1892).

He studied with Olaf Isaachsen in Kristiansand in 1872, at Knud Bergslien's painting school from 1872 to 1875, and with Otto Seitz in Munich in 1880.

He traveled on an endowment to Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Paris during 1893.

[1] His art often reflected an unsentimental image of the Norwegian peasant environment in Numedal, Valdres, Hadeland and Lillehammer.

He is represented at the National Gallery of Norway with several paintings, including På rugdepost from 1887 and Vinterdag from 1900.
