He was born in Hol in 1813 and lived until he moved to the village of Hovet, Buskerud, in 1852. He died there in 1906.Table of ContentsGenealogy[edit]The name Nerolshaugen[edit]The name Gr\u00f8t[edit]The name Olson[edit]The name P\u00e5l[edit]His life in Hovet[edit]Rosemaling[edit]Rosem\u00e5lere[edit]Museums[edit]Literature[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Genealogy[edit]The genealogy, the family history of P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t, small parts of it, are registered in several books and websites. However, there are differences in names, the way of writing the names, and differences in birth dates. In the book Rosem\u00e5ling i Hallingdal,[1] the author Nils Ellingsgard writes that Gr\u00f8t painted himself on a wooden coffer, and named himself Paul Olsen Neeraal, born on December 15, 1813.According to the church book however, Ellingsgard writes that Gr\u00f8t was baptized on December 13, 1812. The digitized Hol Kirkebog (Church book of Hol) starts in 1900, and cannot offer information about his birth. The date of his death, in 1906, is not registered in the Hol Kirkebog,[2] probably because Gr\u00f8t lived in Hovet, Buskerud at that time. Hovet got its own graveyard[3] in 1890, located at what was then named the H\u00e5konsethaugen, probably the same place as where the church had been built in 1910.This church is on a haugen, a tiny hill, very near to the H\u00e5kons\u00e6t Fjellvilla. In MyHeritage P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t is named Paul Olsen Gr\u00f8tt,[4] born December 13, 1813, died February 1, 1906. The Norwegian Wikipedia page about P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t follows the church book archives.The name Nerolshaugen[edit]According to the book, P\u00e5l Gr\u00f8t was born and raised at Nerolshaugen. Neeraal pronounced in Norwegian sounds the same as the word Nerol. In the village Hol, there is a street named Nerolsvegen,[5] which means literally the vegen (street) of Nerol. Probably, Nerolsvegen had once been named Nerolshaugen.The word haugen is derived from the old Norwegian haug, a word for a little hill, but also for farm homesteads. The street “Nerolsvegen” is indeed on a haugen. The word Nerolshaugen means literally the haugen of Nerol.The word Nerol is also in the family name of P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t’s father: Ola Eirikson Nerol.[4] It was a habit in that time to use the place where one lived next to the family name.The name Gr\u00f8t[edit]P\u00e5l Olson Nerolshaugen changed his name into P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t when he moved to Hovet in 1852, and bought a farm on land with the name Gr\u00f8t.[6] The true family name is therefore Olson. The farm where P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t lived still belongs to his family. It is unclear why an extra t has been added to the name Gr\u00f8t. In the family tree[4] one can see family members with both spellings.The name Olson[edit]Since P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t’s father’s first name was Ola, “Ola’s son” has obviously been merged into “Ol’s s\u00f8nn”, and finally into Olsen, which sounds the same as Ol’s s\u00f8nn. P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t wrote his own name as Paul Olsen, with an e. Others, like Nils Ellingsgard, wrote the name as P\u00e5l Olson, with an o. On the MyHeritage page the name is written as Paul Olsen Gr\u00f8tt, with an e. Daughters of Ola were named Olsdatter. Datter is Norwegian for daughter.The name P\u00e5l[edit]In the My Heritage page[4] P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t’s first name has been changed into the American name Paul. Nils Ellingsgard mentions in his book that several children of P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t moved to the United States.His life in Hovet[edit]In 1852 P\u00e5l Olson Nerolshaugen moved to Hovet, and started living on a farm, built on a land with the name Gr\u00f8t.[6] From that time on he named himself P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t. On April 11, 1860, when he was 47 years old, and eight years after he moved to Hovet, he married Marita Iversdatter Kleppo, born in Hovet on November 15, 1839. They had six children. Two sons and one daughter emigrated to the US. P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t died in 1906, in Hovet, and is probably buried on the graveyard[3] of Hovet, then named H\u00e5konsethaugen. His wife Marita Iversdatter Kleppo[7] died in 1920.Farm in Hovet, Hallingdal, where Gr\u00f8t livedFarm in Hovet, where Gr\u00f8t livedFarm in Hovet, where Gr\u00f8t livedRosemaling[edit]Rosemaling means “rose painting”, and is a traditional Norwegian decorative painting style. Rosemaling in Norway originated in the low-land areas of eastern Norway particularly in Telemark and Hallingdal, but also in Numedal and Setesdal and in other valleys in Vest-Agder, Hordaland, Sogn og Fjordane and Rogaland. It came into existence around 1750, when Baroque and Rococo, artistic styles of the upper class, were introduced into Norway’s rural culture.P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t lived in the traditional district of Hallingdal. Characteristic for the Hallingdal[8] style are Baroque scrolls and acanthus leaves wrapped around a central flower. The designs are symmetrical, using opaque color and not generally shaded. Backgrounds are red, black green, dark green, and a lighter blue green.P\u00e5l Gr\u00f8t was a pupil of Nils B\u00e6ra[9] in \u00c5l and became one of the most important rosem\u00e5ling painters in Hol.[10] His style has many features in common with the style of the Torstein Sand cohabitation. Torstein Sand was also a pupil of Nils B\u00e6ra. Both became important examples for contemporary and later rosem\u00e5ling painters in Hol. P\u00e5l Gr\u00f8t has painted many beer buns with great variety and imagination. His wooden box painting usually has a basic theme and the middle motifs are often animal figures or houses.From the early 1830s rosem\u00e5ling was P\u00e5l Olson Gr\u00f8t’s main activity, but he was also a skilled carpenter and wood carver. As a painter, he had his most productive period in the 1840s and 1850s.A tr\u00f8ys is a wooden container that was used primarily for beer, but also used for milk. A tr\u00f8yser can have the shape of a bowl or trough with a tut or beak to pour on one side, and often with an ear or handle on the other. The word tr\u00f8ys is related to the Old Norse word trog and the English “through”.Rosem\u00e5lere[edit]The Hallingdal rosemaling style, also used by Gr\u00f8t, is symmetrical, similar to a butterfly, with a center and a left and right-hand side that mirror each other. It may be a coincidence that in the Norwegian word rosem\u00e5lere is the name of a genus of butterflies (Anticlea). The name rosem\u00e5ler sounds very similar to rosemaler.Anticlea derivata, in Norwegian, fiolett rosem\u00e5lerMuseums[edit]P\u00e5l Gr\u00f8t is represented in the collections at the Hol Bygdemuseum, Hallingdal Museum, Drammen Museum and the Norwegian Folk Museum.Literature[edit]Ellingsgard, Nils (1978): Rosemaling i Hallingdal.
