EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Finn Magnussen, a renowned Icelandic archaeologist and professor of northern literature and mythology. The image is an illustration from the book "Voyage en Islande et au Groenland" published in 1851 under the direction of Paul Gaimard by Eugene Robert. In this portrait, Finn Magnussen exudes scholarly elegance as he sits comfortably, wearing a distinguished bow tie. With medals adorning his chest, he holds a book in his hands, symbolizing his vast knowledge and expertise. His intellectual prowess is evident through his intense gaze and composed demeanor. Finn Magnussen's contributions to academia are significant; he translated the Elder Edda, an ancient Icelandic manuscript that contains mythological poems. As an archaeologist, he dedicated himself to uncovering Iceland's rich history and cultural heritage. The artist behind this lithographic masterpiece is Emile Lassalle (1813-1871), who skillfully captured the essence of Finn Magnussen's scholarly persona with intricate details and precision. This print serves as a testament to Finn Magnussen's legacy as one of Iceland's most esteemed scholars. It not only immortalizes him but also pays homage to his invaluable work in preserving Icelandic culture for future generations to appreciate.
