Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval (15 October 1885 - 13 April 1972) was an Icelandic painter. He is one of the most famous artists of Iceland.

The last ones having for subject elves, trolls and figures from folk tales and sagas. The painter has been much discussed and also criticized because of this strange mixture.
