- Description
- I am the Good Shepherd tells of the Norwegian-American artist, Sara Kirkeberg Raugland (1862-1960). The account emphasizes her altar painting "I am the Good Shepherd," originally in the York Lutheran Church, Blanchardville, Wisconsin, but now located in its successor, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, New Glarus, Wisconsin. Raugland was born near Gunder, Clayton County, Iowa, to parents who emigrated from Valdres. She studied art in Minneapolis and in 1891 married Carl Raugland who ran a music store and composed and published music. Sara Raugland is reputed to have made between 200 and 300 altar pieces. She ceased painting after the death of her husband in 1918. The painting under special treatment is a copy of one done by Bernhard Plockurst (1825-1907). The collection includes related newspaper clippings, For three songs by Carl Raugland see P 558, box 2.
