EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Supposed representation of the Saxon Deity, Woden" takes us back to ancient times when gods and goddesses were worshipped with great reverence. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of Saxon mythology. Woden, also known as Odin in Norse mythology, was considered one of the most powerful deities among the Saxons. This illustration is believed to be based on historical accounts and serves as a visual interpretation of how Woden might have been perceived by his followers. The intricate details captured in this engraving showcase Woden's divine presence. With his long flowing beard and commanding gaze, he exudes wisdom and authority. The artist skillfully portrays him holding a staff adorned with symbols representing knowledge and power. Displayed against a backdrop that hints at an ancient temple or sacred grove, this print invites us to contemplate the significance of religious beliefs in shaping human history. It reminds us that throughout time, people have sought solace and guidance from higher beings like Woden. Preserved within a private collection for years before being made available through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, this remarkable piece allows art enthusiasts to connect with our ancestral past while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation.
