EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Thor and Hymir Fishing" is an exquisite illustration from the book "The Edda: Germanic Gods and Heroes" by Hans von Wolzogen. The print showcases a scene deeply rooted in Norse mythology, capturing the essence of ancient pagan beliefs. In this artwork, we witness Thor, the mighty god of thunder and protector of mankind, accompanied by Hymir as they engage in a momentous fishing expedition. The composition exudes a sense of power and adventure as Thor wields his iconic hammer Mjölnir while standing on their boat. Hymir, portrayed with great detail and expression, appears astonished at the strength displayed by his divine companion. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this lithograph. From the intricate depiction of Odin's ravens perched atop his shoulders to the swirling waves beneath them, each element contributes to an immersive visual experience that transports us back to Viking Age folklore. Franz Stassen masterfully brings this mythological tale to life with his skillful use of light and shadow. His work not only captures the imagination but also pays homage to traditional art techniques prevalent during that era. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both its artistic value and its significance within Norse mythology. It stands as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into a world where gods walked among mortals—a world filled with sagas waiting to be discovered anew.
