EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from Norse mythology, Aslaug, the daughter of the legendary hero Sigurd and the Valkyrie Brynhild, is seen in hiding with her foster father Heimer. The scene takes place by a tranquil stream, where Heimer, a skilled harpist, has concealed Aslaug within the sound box of his harp to protect her from harm. Aslaug, also known as Aslog, was born from the union of Sigurd and Brynhild, a Valkyrie who was enchanted by Sigurd's heroic deeds. However, their union was forbidden, and Brynhild was tricked into marrying another man. In revenge, she placed a sleeping spell on Sigurd, causing him to forget their love. Aslaug was then abandoned, but she was eventually found and raised by Heimer, who took her in and kept her safe. The historical and mythical significance of this scene is profound. The Volsung saga, in which this story is told, is one of the most famous Norse myths and has been a source of inspiration for many works of literature and art throughout history. The image of Aslaug hidden in the harp is a powerful reminder of the importance of protection and the lengths to which parents and caregivers will go to keep their children safe. The intricate details of the image, from the folds of Aslaug's cloak to the texture of the harp's wood, transport us back to a time when mythology and history were intertwined. The presence of Heimer's faithful dog at his side adds to the sense of warmth and protection, making this a truly captivating and timeless image. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of Norse mythology and the enduring power of the stories it contains. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a starting point for further exploration, this image is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity.
