"Skjennepreken" (English: "The Scolding Sermon") is a notable painting by the Norwegian artist Knud Bergslien, created in 1871. The work is a genre painting, a form that depicts scenes from everyday life, often with a narrative element. Bergslien, born in Voss in 1827, was a prominent figure in Norwegian art during the 19th century, known for his historical paintings, portraits, and landscapes. He was also an influential teacher, with pupils including Edvard Munch and Erik Werenskiold.

The painting "Skjennepreken" is significant for its portrayal of Norwegian rural life during the period. It captures a domestic scene in which an elder, presumably a patriarch of a family or a local figure of authority, is delivering a stern lecture or reprimand to a young man. The scene is set within a rustic interior, and the characters are dressed in traditional Norwegian attire, which adds to the cultural authenticity and historical value of the piece.

Bergslien's attention to detail in the expressions of the figures, the interior setting, and the use of light and shadow contribute to the dramatic effect of the painting. The work reflects the social norms and values of the time, as well as the artist's interest in the moral and didactic functions of genre painting. "Skjennepreken" is an example of Bergslien's skill in storytelling through visual art and his commitment to capturing the spirit of Norwegian culture.

The painting is held in high esteem in Norway and is considered an important work in Bergslien's oeuvre. It is often analyzed for its cultural and historical significance, as well as its artistic merits. "Skjennepreken" remains a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the social history of Norway.
