EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Fishing of Thor and Hymir, from Folk Legends of the Sea" transports us into a mythical world filled with strength, struggle, and emotion. Created by Howard Pyle in 1902, this colour lithograph showcases the legendary encounter between Thor, the god of thunder, and Hymir, a fearsome giant. In this scene, we witness Thor and Hymir aboard a boat on tumultuous waters. The moon shines brightly overhead as waves crash against their vessel. With muscles strained and faces shocked with determination, both figures engage in an epic battle against the mighty Midgard Serpent. Thor's powerful grip on the line is matched only by his anger towards Jormungand. As he pulls with all his might to subdue the monstrous creature, Hymir watches in awe at Thor's sheer strength. The tension is palpable as they struggle against nature itself. This image captures not only physical prowess but also depicts deep emotions such as rage and furor that fuel these mythological beings' actions. It reminds us of the timeless power of myths and legends to evoke intense feelings within us. "The Fishing of Thor and Hymir" is a testament to Howard Pyle's mastery in bringing folklore to life through art. This print serves as a window into a world where gods clash with giants amidst raging seas—a visual representation of humanity's eternal fascination with tales that transcend time itself.
