Saint Nicolaus der Krampus auch in’s Haus 1820
1820 painting by an Austrian artist
Am Christabend und St. Nicolaus kam der Krampus auch in’s Haus (Franz Xaver von Paumgartten, 1820). This 1820 painting by an Austrian artist, which shows St. Nicholas and the evil helper Krampus visiting an Austrian home on Christmas Eve, is one of the most comprehensive depictions of a European celebration in the early nineteenth century.
