EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate woodcut of Irmin, a Germanic god, taken from Herman Stangefol's 'Annales Circuli Westphaliae' in 1656. The image is a representation of the deity known as Hermensul or Irminsul and holds significant historical and mythological importance. Irmin's role has sparked debates among scholars, with some recognizing him as the national god of the Saxons while others consider him an epithet for other prominent gods like Odin and Tyr. The seventeenth-century drawing beautifully captures the essence of early baroque art with its detailed illustrations and mythical themes. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to an era where religion played a central role in society, shaping beliefs and customs during both the Middle Ages and Renaissance period. Published in 1874 by Chapman and Hall in London, Paul Lacroix's book 'Manners, Customs & Dress' provides valuable insights into various aspects of history. This particular print serves as a testament to Germany's rich cultural heritage, shedding light on its religious practices through stunning visual imagery. The inclusion of elements such as coat of arms, heraldry symbols, knights adorned in armor holding banners adds depth to this artwork. It offers us a glimpse into European mythology while simultaneously showcasing the artistic prowess prevalent during that time.
