Arrangementsinformasjon

Allies — a powerful portrait project by Norwegian artist Ross Kolby, commemorating the enduring British-Norwegian bonds forged during WWII.

For 14 years, Kolby has painted veterans who stood against tyranny and fought for freedom. This new edition brings together 13 remarkable stories, accompanied by essays from leading historians and dignitaries including:

HM King Harald V – Foreword
HRH Princess Anne – Reflections on veterans
Jens Stoltenberg – On the NATO alliance
Chiefs of Defence – On today’s military ties

The book features portraits of iconic figures such as Queen Elizabeth II, Gunnar Sønsteby, Dame Vera Lynn, and Spitfire pilot Wilhelm Mohr — each painted with symbolic depth and historical reverence.
