EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Odin Hanging on the World-Tree" is a mesmerizing illustration from the renowned book "The Edda: Germanic Gods and Heroes" by Hans von Wolzogen. The print showcases Odin, the chief deity of Norse mythology, suspended from Yggdrasil, the sacred World-Tree. This evocative image captures both the allegorical and literary essence of ancient Germanic folklore. With meticulous attention to detail, Franz Stassen skillfully brings this mythical scene to life through his fine artistry. Every stroke in this lithograph exudes a sense of mysticism and power that resonates with viewers. The composition transports us back to an era where pagan beliefs were deeply rooted in society. As we delve into Norse mythology through this visual masterpiece, we are reminded of Odin's relentless pursuit for wisdom and knowledge. By sacrificing himself on Yggdrasil for nine days and nights, he gains profound insights into magic and runes – symbols that hold immense significance in Viking culture. This lithograph not only pays homage to traditional Viking age aesthetics but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of paganism throughout history. It invites us to explore sagas filled with gods, heroes, and epic battles against cosmic forces. Preserved within a private collection today, this extraordinary artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of Odin's divine quest for enlightenment amidst an enchanting mythological realm.
