EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the ancient Norse saga, "The Book of Sagas" illustrated by Alice S. Hoffman and published in 1926. The scene depicts Hadur, guided by Loui, as he defiantly takes hold of the mistletoe with unwavering determination. With his arm raised high, Hadur hurls the deadly weapon towards his target - Baldur. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the intensity and suspense that permeate this legendary tale. As the mistletoe hurtles through the air, one can almost hear Baldur's sharp cry piercing through the silence. This fateful act forever changes their destinies. Intriguingly, we witness an amalgamation of elements within this artwork: enemy and challenge; spirit and ghost; standing tall amidst adversity; aiming for victory against all odds. The male Viking protagonist embodies courage and resilience as he prepares to face his enemies head-on. Set against a backdrop of nature's beauty, this illustration transports us back in time to an era filled with mythical creatures and epic battles. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great peril or when faced with insurmountable challenges, we must summon our inner strength and take aim at our targets fearlessly. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images is not only visually striking but also symbolizes humanity's eternal struggle against adversity – a timeless message that continues to resonate today.
