EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, titled "Lokis brood. From Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons" takes us on a journey into the rich world of Germanic mythology and folklore. Created around 1905 by Emil Doepler, a renowned artist of the Art Nouveau movement, this piece showcases his exceptional talent for book art. The image transports us to an ancient realm where gods and heroes coexist in epic tales. In the foreground, we see Brunhild, Brynhildr or Brunnhilde - a prominent figure from Norse mythology - surrounded by Loki's brood. These mythical creatures are intricately depicted with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring them to life. As our eyes wander through the artwork, we can spot various elements from German history and literature intertwined with mythological symbols. The influence of Richard Wagner's opera cycle "Ring des Nibelungen" is evident as characters like Siegfried, Odin, and Hel make appearances. Doepler's mastery lies not only in his artistic technique but also in his ability to capture the essence of these legendary stories. This print serves as a visual gateway into a time when pagan beliefs were prevalent and heroic sagas were passed down through generations. With its historical significance and cultural references, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into Germanic mythology while appreciating the beauty of Art Nouveau aesthetics. It stands as a testament to both Doepler's skill as an artist and humanity's enduring
