EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century takes us deep into the realm of Nordic mythology. Titled "Nordic Mythology: The Valkyries in Valhalla" it showcases a group of fierce and ethereal virgin warriors known as the Valkyries, who play a crucial role in selecting brave warriors to be brought to Valhalla after their fall in battle. The artwork depicts a scene filled with mythical energy and raw power. Clad in barbaric armor, these valiant women stand tall, each holding their weapons - lances and bucklers - ready for battle. Their helmets gleam under heavenly light, symbolizing their divine connection. Valhalla itself is portrayed as an otherworldly paradise where fallen heroes are honored for eternity. This print beautifully captures the mystique surrounding this legendary place where courageous fighters find solace after sacrificing themselves on the battlefield. Created by an unknown artist of the time, this chromolithograph showcases intricate details that bring out every element of this mythological tale. From the delicate shading on each warrior's face to the vibrant colors used throughout, it truly brings Norse folklore to life. Giancarlo Costa has preserved this remarkable piece within his private collection, allowing us all to marvel at its beauty and immerse ourselves in ancient tales of valor and sacrifice.
