EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous Colonization of Iceland by Norwegian Vikings in the 9th century. The image shows the Norvegian Vikings debarking on Icelandic shores, with Ingolfur Arnarson among them - who would later become the founder of Reykjavik, the future capital of Iceland.
The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and discovery as these Norsemen set foot on new land, ready to establish settlements and shape the course of history. The engraving from "Nordisch-Germanische Gotter und Helden" by Wilhelm Wagner in 1919 beautifully depicts this pivotal moment in Icelandic history.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness the bravery and determination of these early settlers. The boats that brought them to Iceland symbolize not just a means of transport, but also a gateway to new opportunities and challenges.
This image is not just a representation of colonization, but also a reminder of the rich mythology and folklore that shaped Nordic culture. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in the face of unknown territories.
Overall, this print is a powerful reminder of our shared past and how it continues to influence our present-day understanding of identity, heritage, and exploration.
