EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of God Odin, a powerful figure in German mythology. Taken in 1909 by Leonard de Selva, this image showcases the intricate details of a German School artwork found at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The photograph transports us to an era steeped in war, poetry, and paganism. It serves as a visual portal into ancient Germanic beliefs and traditions. Odin, known for his association with magic and shamanism, is depicted here as a revered deity surrounded by natural elements. The intensity of Odin's gaze reveals his divine wisdom and authority. His long beard flows gracefully over his chest while he holds onto his spear symbolizing power and protection. The artist skillfully portrays the god's connection to nature through intricately carved branches that intertwine with his form. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of Viking culture and their reverence for Odin as their chief deity. This print not only offers an artistic representation but also provides insight into religious practices during that time. Leonard de Selva's masterful capture allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of German mythology while paying homage to its rich cultural heritage.
