EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print from 1815 showcases Gurm Gamle (Gormo), the esteemed king of Denmark in 840. The regal figure is depicted wearing a remarkable leather corselet over a finely crafted tunic, symbolizing his authority and strength. Adorning his head is an intricate hat or crown with multiple folds, signifying his royal status. In this portrayal, Gurm Gamle proudly holds the sceptre/hammer of northern kings in the form of a Tau cross, representing both his religious beliefs and leadership role. Resting against a stone backdrop, he leans on it to reveal an enchanting depiction of Odin riding Sleipner, his eight-footed mount. This imagery highlights the connection between Gurm Gamle's reign and Norse mythology. A young Danish warrior stands beside him, exuding vigor and determination. Clutching an axe known as bipennis and donning protective greaves on his legs, this warrior epitomizes bravery and readiness for battle. The aquatint technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured within the image. It serves as a testament to both historical accuracy and artistic mastery. This extraordinary artwork offers us a glimpse into Danish history while showcasing the rich cultural heritage that shaped Northern Europe during that era. It celebrates not only royalty but also religion, mythology, and the indomitable spirit of warriors who defended their land under King Gurm Gamle's rule.
