This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Ancient Germanic gods and kings: Flins and Radgost" takes us on a journey into the rich mythology of the past. Created by Nasi in the 19th century, this print showcases two powerful figures from ancient Germanic culture. On the left stands Flinna or Flins, revered as the god of death in Wendish mythology and idolized by the Vandals. Cloaked in mystery, his presence exudes an aura of darkness and intrigue. On the right stands Radagasto or Radgost, adorned with an ax, bird crown, and bull breastplate. As king of the Obotrites and worshipped by the Moravians, he symbolizes strength and leadership. The intricate details captured through handcolouring bring these deities to life. Each stroke adds depth to their expressions while highlighting their majestic attire.
