EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of conviviality and relaxation among men from centuries past. Taken from the Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus by Olaus Magnus, this illustration offers a glimpse into the drinking rituals of Scandinavian Norsemen during the 16th century. In this scene, a group of men can be seen gathered together, enjoying their drinks in carved mugs known as tankards. The atmosphere is jovial, with laughter and conversation filling the air. Each man appears engrossed in his own thoughts or engaged in animated discussions with his companions. The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable; every line and shading brings life to each character's expression and posture. It transports us back to an era when such gatherings were not just about indulging in beverages but also served as social occasions for bonding and camaraderie. Published in Rome in 1555, this image has been preserved through time thanks to Paul Lacroix's publication Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance almost three centuries later. Now part of a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of historical traditions that have long since evolved. As we admire this artwork today, let us appreciate the rich cultural heritage it represents – one that sheds light on ancient customs while reminding us of our shared human desire for connection and enjoyment amidst life's challenges.
