EDITORS COMMENTS
Asgaardsreiden - The Wild Hunt of Norwegian Folklore, 1872 This evocative image captures the essence of the Wild Hunt, a fascinating and intriguing concept deeply rooted in Norwegian folklore. Known as Asgaardsreiden in Norse mythology, the Wild Hunt was believed to be a nightly procession led by the god Odin, accompanied by a ghostly band of the dead, witches, and other supernatural beings. The print, created in 1872, showcases the Wild Hunt in full swing, with ghostly riders on horseback, their faces obscured by hoods and masks, galloping through the night sky. The moon, almost full and casting a silvery glow, illuminates the scene, while the stars twinkle in the background. The landscape below is barren and desolate, reflecting the wild and untamed nature of the hunt. The Wild Hunt was a popular topic in Norwegian folklore, with various stories and legends surrounding its origins and purpose. Some believed it was a hunt for souls, while others saw it as a symbol of the cycle of life and death. Regardless of the specific interpretation, the Wild Hunt was a powerful and awe-inspiring force, one that continued to captivate the imaginations of the Norwegian people for generations. This beautiful and historic print offers a glimpse into the rich and fascinating world of Norwegian folklore, transporting us back in time to an era when the supernatural was a very real and tangible part of everyday life.
