This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Ny Kgl Saml 1867.4, s. 95v The Killing of Balder" by the Icelandic School in the 18th century. Housed in the Royal Library of Copenhagen, Denmark, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper masterpiece is a part of Snorra Edda (The Prose Edda), written and illustrated by an Icelandic farmer. The image depicts a tragic scene from Norse mythology where Balder, son of Odin and Freya, and husband to Nanna, meets his untimely demise. Known as the favorite and wisest among all gods, Balder's life is tragically cut short when he is struck down by a twig of mistletoe shot by Hodur under Loki's instructions.
