One cannot forget the iconic "Ride of the Valkyries, " immortalized by Delitz's artwork. The powerful image captures these fierce warrior maidens soaring through the skies on their noble steeds, ready to carry fallen heroes to Valhalla.

" This dramatic depiction reminds us that even gods are not immune to downfall or fate.
