About "18th century farmhouse with church in Glaumbaer, Iceland."

by Wim van Gerven

About the artwork

The village of Glaumbaer in northern Iceland is home to a small church and a peat farm from the 18th century. The farmhouse is still furnished just as it was at the time.
In the 11th century, a couple lived here with a child who was probably the first European child born in America (on Newfoundland).
Later, the couple built the first church in Iceland. That is not the current church that stands there today.

The farm in the photo shows how rough and harsh life was in Iceland back then: the roofs, outer walls and inner walls were lined with sods to keep out even the icy cold during the harsh winters of the time. Living comforts were unknown in those days.

Religion, faith, gave the local population the strength to cope with this harsh existence.
They valued having the church close to them, both literally and figuratively.

This is clearly visible in this photo and that is why this photo takes on a special meaning.

I have changed the colours of the original colour photo a little for this one. In my opinion, this emphasises the age of the photographed houses and the little church a bit more.
