EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Death of Baldr (Left site)" from the renowned book Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons, created around 1905. The artwork, part of a private collection, showcases the artistic style of the art nouveau movement and highlights various elements from Germanic mythology. In this scene, we witness the tragic demise of Baldr, a beloved god in Norse mythology. The chromolithography technique used in this print brings out vibrant colors and intricate details that enhance our understanding of this ancient tale. The image is filled with symbolism and references to German history and folklore. It draws inspiration from Richard Wagner's opera cycle Ring des Nibelungen, particularly Die Walkure. Characters like Brunhild (also spelled Brynhild or Brunnhilde) play significant roles in this narrative as they navigate through conflicts between gods and mortals. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported to an era steeped in medieval traditions and pagan beliefs. The influence of Viking culture can be seen through references to Odin, Valkyries, sieges, sagas like Nibelungenlied and Volsunga Saga, as well as heroic figures such as Siegfried (or Sigurd). Overall, this print not only serves as a stunning piece of fine art but also invites us to explore the rich tapestry woven by Germanic mythology throughout history.
