EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print titled "Then the dwarfs held it out to her" by Charles Edmund Brock depicts a scene from the enchanting world of Scandinavian mythology. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for the book "Heroes of Asgard, Tales from Scandinavian Mythology" by A and E Keary in 1930. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a group of dwarfs presenting something significant to a mysterious figure. The intricate details bring to life the magical atmosphere surrounding these mythical creatures. Lanterns illuminate their path, casting ethereal light on their surroundings. The focal point is undoubtedly the necklace being offered by one dwarf to another character whose identity remains concealed. This necklace holds great importance in Norse mythology as it is known as Brisingamen, belonging to Freyja - the goddess associated with love and beauty. Brock's masterful portrayal captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys deeper themes such as deformity and illness prevalent in ancient tales. It alludes to Asklepios, the Greek god of medicine who often treated individuals suffering from various maladies including flu and sexually transmitted diseases. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with folklore and how stories passed down through generations continue to captivate us today. It invites viewers into an otherworldly realm where gods, dwarfs, and heroes intertwine within rich narratives that explore both human nature and extraordinary realms beyond our own.
