EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the mythical world of Norse mythology. Titled "Thor and the Midgard Serpent" it is part of the book art series Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons, created around 1905 by Emil Doepler. The artwork showcases Thor, the god of thunder, engaged in an epic battle with Jormungandr, also known as the Midgard Serpent. The image depicts Thor wielding his mighty hammer Mjölnir while fiercely confronting the monstrous serpent that encircles him. The chromolithography technique used in this print brings vibrant colors to life, enhancing every intricate detail and adding depth to this dramatic encounter. Valhalla: Gods of the Teutons draws inspiration from Germanic mythology and folklore, intertwining elements from medieval sagas such as Nibelungenlied and Volsunga Saga. This particular scene references Richard Wagner's opera Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), which forms part of his monumental work Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle). With its art nouveau style and rich symbolism rooted in German history, this print serves as a visual representation of pagan beliefs during ancient times. It transports viewers into a realm where gods and heroes clash against mythical creatures on their quest for glory. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of bravery and power amidst an enchanting backdrop steeped in Norse legend.
