They have mostly been visiting or living here for a period in connection with their work or simply because they have been smitten by the lore of this alluring ice wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the artists have been associated with Denmark, which has ruled Greenland for many centuries - actually getting a stake here via the Norse - Erik the Red in 953 AD - when Norway and Denmark became united in the Middle Ages.They had a great pasture farming and hunting society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater, the Inuit came over from Siberia and invaded Greenland and wiped out the Norse settlements. Only with the Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede in 1721 was appointed royal missionary to Greenland did the Danish king again get to actually rule this part of the kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Greenlanders of today s Greenland are a mix of Danish, Inuit and some other European blood. They are a hardy lot - it takes guts and perseverance to brave it out under these harsh and challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe salute this proud people and hope you will approve of our selection of works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46377881829527,"sku":"9785221875453","price":4217.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9785221875453.webp?v=1768762328","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/greenland-in-art-enchanted-9785221875453","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
