EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Volva (seeress)" transports us to the early 20th century, a time when art movements like Art Nouveau and Jugendstil were flourishing. Created by Carl Emil Doepler, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts a woman, the Volva or seeress, with an air of mystery surrounding her. Dressed in flowing robes adorned with intricate patterns, she exudes femininity and wisdom. Her presence evokes legends and myths from Germanic folklore, as she is featured in Walhall, die Gotterwelt der Germanen - a literary work exploring the gods of ancient Germany. In this artwork, we witness the fusion of mythology and religion intertwined with predictions of the future. The Volva's ability to foretell events adds an element of intrigue to her character. As we gaze at this lithograph, we are transported into a world where paganism and polytheism reign supreme. Doepler's use of vibrant colours brings life to this illustration while capturing our imagination. The rich hues highlight every intricate detail on display - from the Volva's ornate attire to her enigmatic expression. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply rooted in storytelling. Through visual representations like these lithographs, artists have preserved legends for generations to come – allowing us glimpses into ancient cultures that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
