EDITORS COMMENTS
Giantess Kriemhild, a captivating masterpiece by artist Nicholas Roerich, transports us to the realms of Germanic mythology and medieval folklore. This exquisite watercolour and ink print, dating back to 1915, is housed in the prestigious State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Roerich skillfully captures the essence of this mythical figure from the Nibelungenlied saga. Kriemhild stands tall and powerful, her presence commanding attention as she embodies both beauty and strength. The intricate details of her attire reflect the rich history of Germany while paying homage to traditional Viking aesthetics. The painting's symbolism delves deep into Norse mythology as it intertwines with Richard Wagner's opera Die Walkure. It evokes images of valkyries riding through stormy skies on their viking ships, guided by Odin himself. Through his artistry, Roerich invites us to explore ancient sagas such as Sigurd or Siegfried's heroic tales within a pagan context. The fusion between literature and visual representation creates an immersive experience that resonates with lovers of history and myth alike. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Roerich's talent for capturing not only historical accuracy but also the spirit behind these legendary narratives. As we gaze upon Giantess Kriemhild, we are transported back in time to an era where gods walked among mortals and epic battles shaped destinies.
