EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable line engraving from the late 19th century, based on an original painting by Christian Krohg. The image depicts Leif Ericsson, a courageous Norse explorer who made history by discovering America. Standing on the exterior deck of his long ship, Leif points towards the vast ocean ahead with determination and curiosity. Christian Krohg's masterful artwork captures the essence of this medieval maritime adventure, transporting us back in time to witness this pivotal moment in exploration. The engraving beautifully portrays Leif as a skilled sailor, embodying both bravery and intellect. Leif Ericsson's journey across uncharted waters marked a significant milestone in human history.

This groundbreaking achievement solidified the Vikings' place as intrepid explorers and expanded our understanding of early transatlantic travel. The Granger Collection has meticulously preserved this historical gem for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike to appreciate. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on Leif Ericsson's extraordinary courage and vision that forever changed our perception of the world.
