Ingebrigt Vik

Ingebrigt Vik

Ingebrigt Vik (5 March 1867 – 22 March 1927) was a Norwegian sculptor born in Øystese.

Vik is regarded as one of Norway's greatest sculptors. He grew up in Øystese and began as a wood carver in his father's factory. He then trained as an artist in Copenhagen and Paris. Many of his works still stand in the centre of Øystese. Some of Vik's best works are in the National Gallery of Norway, such as "Ung Pike" (1903) and "Ynglingen" (1913). In the theatre gardens in Bergen there is his statue of the composer Edvard Grieg (1915) in bronze.
