Hertervig 3D is a high definition video, a 3D representation of a famous painting by Lars Hertervig, "Gamle Furutrær" (Old Pinetrees, 1865, 64 x 74,5 cm). The videowork suggests that Hertervig, a 19th century painter from the Stavanger region, should be viewed as an early multimedia artist. Strong 3D spatial concepts and even hints of the coming motionpicture play parts in his work and provide for smoth transition into 3D virtual reality. It is hard to believe, but Hertervig has long been considered the typical romantic dreamer. Anyway, the pictorial structure of his work is often remarkably solid and clear cut.
