EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century print, we witness the mighty Norse god Thor engaged in an epic battle with the monstrous serpent of Midgard. With his trusty hammer Mjölnir by his side, Thor fearlessly takes on this formidable creature from the boat of the giant Hymir. The Icelandic School's pen and ink technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of this legendary encounter. As Thor casts his fishing line into the depths of the sea, he displays both strength and determination. His muscular physique is emphasized as he leans back against the forceful pull of the serpent, showcasing his unwavering resolve to conquer any challenge that comes his way. The boat itself exudes a sense of ancient Scandinavian craftsmanship with its carefully etched runes and meticulously placed nails. It serves as a symbol of both protection and adventure as it carries Thor through treacherous waters towards victory. This mesmerizing artwork transports us to a mythical realm where gods clash with monsters amidst swirling waves and dark skies. It reminds us of the rich tapestry woven by Norse mythology, where legends come alive through artistry and imagination. Displayed in Copenhagen's Royal Library, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Iceland's cultural heritage while also serving as an inspiration for those who seek courage in their own battles against life's serpents.
