This print titled "Binding of Fenris" takes us back to the mythical world of Teutonic gods in the early 20th century. Created around 1905, this masterpiece is part of a private collection and showcases the remarkable artistry of Emil Doepler, a renowned artist from Germany. The image depicts an intense scene from Norse mythology, specifically inspired by Richard Wagner's opera "Die Walküre".
