EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing painting "Les valkyries - The Walkueren (Valkyrien)" by Peter Nicolai Arbo. Created in 1864, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 263x203 cm and is housed in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. Arbo's artwork depicts a scene from Norse mythology, specifically focusing on the Valkyries, mythological figures known as warrior women who chose which fallen warriors would be taken to Valhalla. In this composition, we see a group of powerful Valkyries mounted on majestic horses, armed with weapons such as shields and spears. They are portrayed against a dramatic sky filled with clouds, adding an ethereal quality to the painting. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the strength and grace of these mythical beings. The rich colors and dynamic composition bring life to this legendary tale. This piece not only pays homage to Norse folklore but also reflects Wagnerian influences. Richard Wagner, renowned composer and musician of the 19th century, drew inspiration from Norse mythology for his operas such as "Die Walküre". This connection between art forms adds another layer of depth to Arbo's work. Overall, this stunning print invites us into a world where mythology intertwines with music and visual arts—a testament to both Arbo's skill as an artist and his ability to transport viewers into realms beyond our own.
