Ragna Breivik

Ragna Breivik (9 September 1891 – 10 March 1965) was a Norwegian tapestry designer and weaver.

Personal life Breivik was born on 9 September 1891 to Marta Knutsdotter and Lasse Breivik at the farm of Rød in Fana Municipality, Hordaland county. The area is now part of Bergen Municipality in Norway. She learned to weave from her mother at an early age and could card, spin, dye, and weave by the age of ten. In childhood she also developed a strong interest in Norse mythology and Norwegian history, which would lead to a longstanding association with the painter and illustrator Gerhard Munthe.
