EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Baldr and his son Forseti" by Carl Emil Doepler depicts a powerful scene from Germanic mythology. The print, part of the private collection, showcases the artistic brilliance of Doepler and Ranisch in their work "Walhall, die Gotterwelt der Germanen" (Martin Oldenbourg, Berlin, c1900). In this artwork, we witness Baldr, a legendary figure in Norse mythology known for his beauty and purity, alongside his son Forseti. The vibrant colours used in the lithograph bring to life the mythical world they inhabit. The piece is representative of early 20th-century art movements such as Art Nouveau and Jugendstil with its intricate details and flowing lines. It transports us back to a time when legends were passed down through literature and mythological tales held great significance. The image also explores themes of family bonds as Baldr stands proudly beside his son. It reminds us of the importance of parental love and guidance within all families. With its rich symbolism rooted in paganism and polytheism prevalent during that era, this lithograph serves as a visual reminder of our cultural heritage. It invites viewers to delve into ancient myths that have shaped European history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from the 20th century for future generations to appreciate its historical value.
