EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print showcases a vivid depiction of Odin Calling Up the Fire, created by the German School in 1914. The image transports us into the realm of Norse mythology, where Odin, the powerful and wise god, takes center stage. Clad in magnificent armor and adorned with a majestic winged helmet, he commands attention as he wields his lance and spear. The flames surrounding Odin symbolize his ability to summon fire at will, highlighting his mastery over this elemental force. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" particularly its second installment - "Die Walküre" or "The Valkyrie". In this mythological saga, Odin plays a significant role as Wotan, ruler of Valhalla. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Wagner's musical masterpiece through their interpretation of Odin. This postcard print serves as an homage to both Norse mythology and Wagner's profound influence on music and culture during the late 19th century. As we delve into this visual representation of Odin Calling Up the Fire, our imagination is ignited with tales from ancient times. We envision Valhalla standing proudly in all its glory while Gungnir – Odin's legendary spear – gleams brightly against a backdrop of mythical landscapes. This remarkable artwork invites us to explore the depths of Nordic folklore and immerse ourselves in its rich tapestry woven with gods, heroes, and timeless legends.
