EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print from the early 20th century depicts the mythical figures of Loki and Sigyn, taken from Emil Doepler's renowned book art series "Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons". The private collection that houses this piece is fortunate to possess such a remarkable example of allegory and literature within the Art Nouveau movement. Loki, known as a mischievous trickster in Germanic mythology, stands tall with his characteristic sly smile. Beside him stands Sigyn, his loyal wife who holds a basin to catch venomous snake droplets dripping onto Loki's face - punishment for his role in Baldr's death. Their intertwined presence showcases their unwavering bond amidst adversity. The artist, Emil Doepler, was an influential figure during this period and played a significant role in shaping German history through his artistic interpretations of Norse mythology. This particular print captures the essence of medieval folklore with its intricate details and rich colors. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where pagan beliefs were deeply rooted in society. It evokes images of heroic sagas like Nibelungenlied and Volsunga Saga while also drawing inspiration from Richard Wagner's epic opera cycle "Ring des Nibelungen". This image serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient tales and legends that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
