EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "Helgi Hundingsbane returns to Valhalla" we are transported into the realm of Norse mythology. Created by artist James Doyle Penrose, this illustration is a part of Donald A Mackenzie's book "Teutonic Myths and Legends" from 1890. The scene depicts Helgi Hundingsbane, a legendary Viking warrior, making his triumphant return to Valhalla after a fierce battle. With arms outstretched towards the heavens, Helgi stands atop his majestic horse surrounded by an ethereal glow. The vibrant colors bring life to the mythical figures and convey the grandeur of their world. A female figure named Sigrun accompanies Helgi in this momentous homecoming. She represents both strength and beauty as she stands beside him, her presence symbolizing their eternal bond. Valkyries, divine maidens who choose fallen warriors for Valhalla, hover above them in reverence. This artwork not only showcases Penrose's artistic talent but also captures the essence of Germanic folklore and religion. It transports us back to ancient Scandinavia where gods and goddesses reigned supreme and epic battles were fought with valor. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we can't help but be captivated by its historical significance and mythological allure. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with legends that have shaped cultures throughout time - tales that continue to inspire awe even in the modern era
