EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Odin Calling Up the Fire" we are transported to the realm of Norse mythology. Created by Franz Stassen in 1914, this vibrant colour lithograph depicts Odin, the powerful and wise god of war and poetry. Dressed in magnificent armor adorned with intricate details, Odin stands tall and commanding. His iconic winged helmet symbolizes his divine status as he calls upon the elemental force of fire. Flames dance around him, illuminating his face with an intense glow that reflects both strength and determination. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Germanic heroism through Odin's stance, holding a lance or spear known as Gungnir. This weapon is said to never miss its target, embodying Odin's strategic prowess on the battlefield. This artwork also pays homage to Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (The Ring Cycle), specifically referencing Wotan, one of its central characters inspired by Odin from Norse mythology. The composition evokes a sense of grandeur associated with Wagnerian music and its mythical narrative. Stassen's attention to detail brings this mythological scene to life while showcasing his talent as both a visual artist and storyteller. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the enduring power and influence that ancient myths continue to hold over our imaginations.
