EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the ancient Germanic gods in all their majestic glory. Created by Innocente Migliavacca in the 19th century, this print brings to life the mythical figures of Irmensula, Crodo, and Prono. In the center stands Irmensula, the god of Saxons and Westphalians, adorned in medieval armor. His powerful presence exudes strength and authority as he gazes confidently into the distance. To his left is Crodo or Cronus (Saturn), armed with a spear and shield. The intricate details on his weapon reflect both craftsmanship and ferocity. On Irmensula's right stands Prono or Brennus, god of the Germans. Holding a wheel symbolizing time and destiny while clutching a fish representing fertility and abundance, Prono embodies both wisdom and prosperity. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors adds depth to each deity's character while highlighting their significance within Norse mythology. This illustration was part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" which aimed to capture historical fashion from various cultures across time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era where these ancient Germanic deities were revered for their power over nature, war, fate, and prosperity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, their influence continues to captivate our imagination.
