 |
| Gunnlaugur Blöndal art perhaps acknowledges the landscapes and seascapes abounding around his Sævarland (“sea-true country”?) birthplace in Þistilfjörður (Romanized Thistilfjördur, [first settler] Ketill Thistill’s Fjord) bay, betweeb Langanes ("long peninsula") and Rifstangi ("red currant [or] reef [or] rib narrow peninsula [or spit]") peninsulas and near Þórshöfn (Romanized Thórshöfn, "thunder harbor") town, in Norðurland eystra (Romanized Nordurland eystra, "Northeastern Region") in Norðausturkjördæmi (Romanized Nordausturkjördæmi, Northeast Constituency); Aug. 9, 2011, northwestward view of Þórshöfn from Norðausturvegur ("Northeast Road"): Pietro, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons |
Gunnlaugur Blöndal art assuages church attendees, fishers and sailors in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, first thriller in the Dark Iceland sextet about Siglufjörður (Romanized Siglufjördur) Detective Inspector Ari Thór Arason by Ragnar Jónasson.
Gunnlaugur Blöndal art beautifies the altarpiece in the Siglufjarðarkirkja (Romanized Siglufjardarkirkja, Siglufjördur Church, “mast-fjord church” or “sailing-fjord church” literally) on town-center Hlíðarvegur (Romanized Hlídarvegur, “mountainside road”). The painting conceived and completed by Gunnlaugur (“battle-dedicated”) Blöndal (Aug. 27, 1893-July 28, 1962) concerns Christ Jesus (“Yahweh is salvation”) calming boat-compromised sailors on Galilee (“circle”). It domiciles there because of Blöndal’s parents and two brothers dwelling in downtown Siglufjördur and because of the seaside village dominating the herring trade until 1970.
The painting emphasizing Christ Jesus in white clothes and light exhibits three sailors in yellow clothing and four sailors in orange-yellow coverings enduring blue-green, boat-engulfing swells.
His parents fashioned their first family farm for the future artist at his Sævarland (“sea-true country”?) birthplace in Þistilfjörður (Romanized Thistilfjördur, [first settler] Ketill Thistill’s Fjord).
District Physician Björn Gunnlaugsson Blöndal’s and wife Sigríður (Romanized Sigrídur) Möller’s son grew up in Hvammstangi (“grassy hollow narrow peninsula”) village on Vatnsnes (“water cape”) peninsula. Björn, District Commissioner Gunnlaug Blöndal’s son with wife Sigrídur Gröndal, the latter Benedikt’s sister and Sveinbjörn Egilsson’s daughter, held district physicianships in Blönduós, Hvammstangi and Siglufjördur. His wife, as the daughter of Hans Carsten Möller, a lawyer of Copenhagen, Denmark, and of Ingibjörg Einarsdóttir, perhaps interested their son in her paternal homeland.
Fishing activities, harbor happenings and, in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, Siglufjördur scenes journeyed into Gunnlaugur Blöndal art after architecture and woodcarving studies (1909-1913) with Reykjavíkingur Stefán Eiríksson.
His graduation with Reykjavík honors in 1913 kindled Gunnlaugur knowing about continental European painting history and techniques kept up at Tekniske Selskab Skole (Technical Society School).
Gunnlaugur left after learning (1913-1916) drawing history and styles in Copenhagen, Denmark, for Statens Kunstakademi’s (Oslo Academy of the Arts) naturalist, realist curriculum in Oslo, Norway. He mastered naturalist and realist painting (1916-1918) under Christian Krohg (Aug. 13, 1852-Oct. 16, 1925) before moving through Germany, Italy and Spain for their art trends. Noticing such painters as Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Feb. 25, 1841-Dec. 3, 1919) and Henri Matisse (Dec. 31, 1869-Nov. 3, 1954) nudged him into French cubism and expressionism.
Gunnlaugur Blöndal art in Siglufjördur Church in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, occurs after his observing Danish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian and Spanish landscapes, models, portraits and seascapes.
Inger Löchte (July 22, 1901-Aug. 9, 1991), Aarhus chief physician’s daughter in Denmark, parented with Blöndal, her husband since 1929, Björn, subsequent chief physician in Norway.
Copenhagen and Paris quarters qualified as family homes until 1940, when World War II (Sep. 1, 1939-Sep. 2, 1945) queued Icelanders such as Blöndal back home. The divorcé realized a second marriage, April 28, 1946, to Elísabet (“my god [is] perfection”) Jónasdóttir (“gracious god’s daughter”), Reykjavíkingur merchant’s daughter (born April 8, 1922). Twenty-first-century Icelanders see Björn Löchte Blöndal as Björn Gunnlaugsson, Gunnlaugur’s only child, and Elísabet as poet Kristjn Karlsson’s (Jan. 26, 1922-Aug. 5, 2014) second, surviving wife.
Gunnlaugur Blöndal art teams fishing legacies and Lutheran traditions, both of which Siglufjördur townspeople treasure and which the Siglufjördur Church altarpiece typifies in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind.

| Gunnlaugur Blöndal perhaps appreciated landscapes and seascapes because of his childhood and youth in Hvammstangi (“grassy hollow narrow peninsula”) village on Miðfjörður (Romanized Midfjördur, "middle fjord"), Vatnsnes (“water cape”) peninsula and his associations, as son of the chief physician there and then in Siglufjörður (Romanized Siglufjördur, "mast, sailing fjord") village on Tröllaskagi (salt clay peninsula, "troll dough cape, headland, peninsula" literally), villages assembled with others into Norðurland vestra (Romanized Nordurland vestra, "Northwestern Region") in Norðvesturkjördæmi (Romanized Nordvesturkjördæmi, "Northwest Constituency"); July 3, 2011, image of Hvammstangi on Miðfjörður: Jakob Gleby (Smorgasbord), CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons |
