The Swedish artist John Bauer is famous for his paintings of elves and trolls - often in combination with fair princesses (I've even linked to one of those in my user page)
Example of his work here:

Nice links, but the foremost Troll painter of them all ( 
at least with Norwegian eyes ) is Theodore Kittelsen. http://www.cs.uit.n

On this page: http://users.skynet.be/fa023784/troll_art.html
you will find a collection of scandinavian troll painters, including Kittelsen and Bauer and also Werenskiold who created illustrations for Asbjørnsen and Moe's collection of Norwegian fairy tales. (And also illustrated the Norwegian Royal Sagas)
