EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Viking rune stones located in Jelling, Denmark. Carved during the 10th century by Danish artisans, these stone memorials were dedicated to King Gorm and Queen Thyri. The image captures the remarkable craftsmanship of these ancient artifacts, with their detailed relief carvings depicting dragons and interlacing patterns. One side of the rune stones portrays a scene that holds great historical significance - Christ embracing the world. This representation is one of the earliest depictions of its kind found in Scandinavia, making it an invaluable piece of cultural heritage. The print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved in creating these runic inscriptions but also their role as markers within a Nordic graveyard. These stones stand as silent witnesses to a rich history and provide insight into Viking traditions and beliefs. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this extraordinary artwork, allowing viewers to marvel at its beauty from afar. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, connecting with our ancestors who left behind such enduring symbols of their existence.
