Peder Per Veggum (11 April 1768 â 15 April 1836) was a Norwegian artist associated with the decorative folk art of Rosemaling. He was primarily known as a skilled and prolific rose painter (), but he was also a cabinet carpenter and woodcarver.
Veggum was born on a farm in the prestegjeld of Fron in Oppland county, Norway (in what is now Nord-Fron Municipality). He was the son of Ole Olsen Leine (1726-1801) and Lisbet Nilsdatter Bjorge (1736-1813). He grew up in VÃÂ¥gÃÂ¥ Municipality and apprenticed at Røros in Søndre Trondhjem county. From 1797, he settled at Sel in the traditional region of Gudbrandsdalen, where he practiced cabinetmaking, wood carvings, and floral paintings.
