EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Viking Age - a figurine believed to represent the mighty Norse god, Odin. Dating back to 751-775, this bronze sculpture was discovered in Staraya Ladoga and now resides within the esteemed collection of the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The intricate craftsmanship of this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail, meticulously rendered by skilled hands, brings Odin's powerful presence to life. From his flowing cloak and regal crown to his piercing gaze and long beard, every aspect exudes an air of divine authority. As one of the most prominent figures in Norse mythology, Odin holds immense significance within Viking culture. Known as Wotan or Wodanaz in Germanic mythology, he is revered as the Allfather and ruler of Asgard - home to gods and goddesses alike. Associated with wisdom, war, poetry, magic, and death among other domains; Odin's influence extends far beyond mortal comprehension. This extraordinary figurine offers us a glimpse into ancient pagan beliefs that shaped Norse society during this era. It serves as a tangible link between mythological tales passed down through sagas like Edda and archaeological evidence unearthed from Scandinavian lands. With its historical importance and artistic finesse captured beautifully by Fine Art Images' lens; this print not only celebrates our rich heritage but also invites us on an enchanting journey into the realms of Norse mythology
