EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pen and ink print, we are transported to the mythical realm of Norse legends. The scene depicts the monumental figure of Baugi, a giant who has been persuaded by Odin, the powerful god of wisdom and war. With determination etched on his face, Baugi drills into his brother Suttungs underground chamber where the coveted hydromel awaits - the mead of poets. The intricate details in this 18th-century artwork bring to life an ancient tale that has captivated generations. The Icelandic School artist skillfully captures the essence of Norse mythology with every stroke, creating a sense of awe and wonder. As our eyes wander through the image, we can almost feel the tension between these two brothers locked in a battle for power and immortality. The stone mountain backdrop adds an air of mysticism to this already enchanting scene. This print serves as a reminder of how myths and legends have shaped cultures throughout history. It transports us back in time to a world filled with magic, heroes, and gods who wielded immense power. Displayed proudly at Copenhagen's Royal Library, this artwork is not just an expression of artistic talent but also a testament to humanity's fascination with storytelling. It invites us to delve deeper into ancient folklore while appreciating the beauty found within its pages.
