EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the momentous discovery of America by Leiv Eiriksson. Painted by the talented artist Christian Krohg, this masterpiece is housed in the esteemed National Museum of Art in Oslo. The scene unfolds upon a vast expanse of ocean as a majestic sailing boat cuts through the waves. The ship's billowing sails and sturdy structure evoke a sense of adventure and exploration. On board, we find Leiv Eiriksson himself, surrounded by his fellow Varangians and Varyags - fearless Vikings who shared his thirst for discovery. As our gaze meets their determined expressions, it becomes evident that they have stumbled upon something extraordinary. With America's rugged coastline emerging on the horizon, anticipation fills the air. This pivotal moment marks an epochal event in history – one that would forever alter human civilization. Krohg's masterful use of oil on canvas brings every detail to life with vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of Leiv Eiriksson's audacity but also of humanity's relentless pursuit to explore uncharted territories. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance. It invites us to reflect upon our collective past while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond our known horizons.
