EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Norse mythology - "The Death of Baldr (Right site)" from the renowned book Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons, dating back to 1905. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the exquisite artistry and symbolism associated with the Art Nouveau movement. Depicting an allegorical scene filled with rich colors and intricate details, this chromolithography piece transports viewers into the world of Germanic mythology. Baldr, one of the most beloved gods in Norse folklore, is shown meeting his tragic fate. Surrounded by characters like Brunhild and Odin, this artwork beautifully portrays their roles within this ancient tale. The artist behind this masterpiece is Emil Doepler (1855-1922), who skillfully brings together elements from various sagas such as Nibelungenlied and Volsunga Saga. Inspired by Richard Wagner's opera cycle "Ring des Nibelungen". Doepler masterfully combines history and myth to create a visual narrative that resonates with both scholars and enthusiasts alike. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a medieval world where pagan beliefs intertwine with heroic deeds. It serves as a reminder of Germany's rich cultural heritage while also paying homage to its Viking past. This artwork stands as an enduring testament to how mythology continues to captivate our imagination across time.
