EDITORS COMMENTS
Thor, the Mighty God of Thunder, braves the treacherous waters of the river Wimur in this colour lithograph. Created by Carl Emil Doepler in the early 20th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Norse mythology. In this scene from Walhall, die Gotterwelt der Germanen (The Gods' World of the Germans), Thor wades across the powerful river with determination and strength. His muscular physique and flowing red hair are illuminated by vibrant colours that bring life to his mythological presence. As one of the four elements, water plays a significant role in this artwork. The mountain river's rushing currents symbolize both its beauty and danger as Thor navigates through it effortlessly. This depiction highlights not only Thor's physical prowess but also his unwavering courage. Legend has it that Thor embarked on this perilous journey to retrieve an important artifact or confront a formidable foe. Whatever his purpose may be, his stoic expression reveals his commitment to fulfill his divine duty. Doepler's artistry shines through in every detail of this lithograph – from intricate illustrations to rich hues – capturing the essence of Norse mythology with reverence and skill. It serves as a testament to Germany's artistic heritage during the Art Nouveau movement. This remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where gods walk among mortals and legends come alive.
