Wilhelm Laurits Wetlesen (28 November 1871 – 15 June 1925) was a Norwegian painter and illustrator. He was part of the circle around painter Erik Werenskiold. Wetlesen was born in Sandefjord, and studied art in Kristiania (Oslo) and in Copenhagen, Denmark. He later became a student at the painting school of Kristian Zahrtmann, studying there in the years 1889, 1890, 1892 and 1894. Zahrtmann became his mentor, and eventually also a good friend, and Zahrtmann and Wetlesen went on a total of three study trips to Italy. Wetlesen also travelled to Paris with other painters, and he lived for long periods in the Italian cities of Florence and Rome. During this period, Wetlesen mostly painted Danish-inspired interior motifs and pictures of Florentine landscapes.〔 In 1898, Erik Werenskiold recommended Wetlesen to replace Halfdan Egedius, who had become ill, to take part in illustrating for the 1899 edition of the Old Norse saga ''Heimskringla'' of Snorri Sturluson. Wetlesen made 43 illustrations for the book, although his drawings have been considered to not convey the "saga atmosphere" as good as the other five illustrators. After 1900, Wetlesen painted Norwegian landscapes in various parts of the country, including in Telemark, Jæren, Southern Norway and Vestfold.〔 At an early age, Wetlesen was struck with a debilitating heart condition, which combined with his artistic modesty and self-criticism probably contributed to that he did not fully live up to his expectations. His mentor Zahrtmann had also been concerned by his reported indolence. Wetlesen was nonetheless socially outgoing and a centre for his friends and the Norwegian art scene, and he took initiative to establish the artist association ''Kunstnerforbundet'' in 1910, and was the first chairman for the organisation from 1911 to 1912. Wetlesen died in Oslo in 1925.〔 ==References==
