Iceland's Bell is a 1943 historical novel of the same name by Nobel prize-winning Icelandic author Halldór Kiljan Laxness. Arguably the most important Icelandic painter, Jóhannes Kjarval, depicts the "cutting down the bell" scene from the Íslandsklukkan book in a painting with the same title that currently hangs in the Kjarvalstadir museum, in Reykjavík. Thus the imagery of a bell clock has an important place in Icelandic art. (en)
