Jakob Klukstad

Beginning in 1746 they are recorded as taking communion at the church in Lesja, where they continued for years afterwards.

He was buried at Lesja Church, where a memorial stone recognizing his work was placed at his grave in 2000.

His main artistic contribution came at churches in the Gudbrand Valley, where he received several major commissions.

His altarpieces and pulpits were richly carved with motifs of continuous vines with large-leaved acanthus or smaller, curly and small-lobed foliage.

Some of the works have a wealth of small and large flowers, palmettes and leaf limes with great variety in the details.
