EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Thjassi, the giant in his eagle plumage, flew down and caught up Iduna" we are transported into a mythical world of Norse folklore. The illustration, created by Alice S. Hoffman and published in 1926, beautifully captures a pivotal moment from The Book of Sagas. The scene unfolds with Thjassi, the giant adorned in majestic eagle feathers, swooping down from the sky to seize Iduna. As she is carried away by this zoomorphic creature, her expression reveals both fear and determination. She embodies the classic damsel-in-distress archetype but also exudes strength as she confronts her fate head-on. The artist's use of vibrant colors through lithography brings life to this enchanting tale. Every brushstroke seems to convey a sense of urgency and adventure that permeates throughout the image. This artwork not only showcases an enthralling narrative but also highlights themes such as transformation and mythology prevalent in Viking lore. It serves as a visual reminder of how ancient stories continue to captivate our imagination even today. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be drawn into its magical atmosphere. It invites us to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of fairytales and legends that have shaped our collective consciousness for centuries.
