The development of Romanesque painting in Scandinavia is closely linked with the art trade in England and in Lower Saxony. Byzantine influences do not come to the fore until the end of the twelfth century and the beginning of the thirteenth. It can be assumed that most wooden church of the eleventh and twelfth centuries were decorated with panel paintings. Unfortunately, only very little of this kind of work has survived. One example of the Ascension of Christ from the Swedish church of Eke.
