EDITORS COMMENTS
Peer Gynt and the Green Woman: A Meeting in the Realms of Myth and Folklore This evocative image captures a pivotal moment from Henrik Ibsen's iconic play, "Peer Gynt," as the titular character encounters the Green Woman, the daughter of the Dovre-Kings. In this scene, Peer Gynt, a mischievous and self-centered young man, finds himself in the enchanted realm of the mountains, where he is confronted by the supernatural and the consequences of his past actions. The Green Woman, depicted here with long, flowing green hair and an ethereal expression, represents the natural world and the power of the earth. She is both a guardian and a punisher, and her encounter with Peer Gynt is a turning point in his journey towards self-discovery and redemption. The image captures the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene, with its lush greenery, misty mountains, and otherworldly light. The use of muted colors and soft focus adds to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us to the magical realm of Peer Gynt's adventures. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Norwegian folklore and the enduring appeal of Ibsen's classic play. The image invites us to explore the depths of the human psyche and the power of the natural world, and to consider the timeless themes of self-discovery, redemption, and the consequences of our actions.
