Troll, Starry Night, 1810
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the Swedish painter John Bauer (1882-1918). This exquisite gouache on paper painting, now part of a private collection, showcases Bauer's mastery of symbolism and his deep connection to Scandinavian folklore. Bauer's painting is an allegory of the Norse and Germanic mythology, where gnomes and trolls inhabit a world filled with magic and wonder. The title "Troll, Starry Night" suggests a scene of enchantment unfolding under the cover of a star-studded sky. The image is populated with a variety of mythical creatures, including elves and trolls, who are known for their roles in Nordic sagas and legends. Bauer's use of gouache and watercolor techniques adds depth and texture to the painting, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The troll in the foreground, with his long, twisted limbs and menacing gaze, is a stark contrast to the delicate, almost translucent, fairies that dance among the stars. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the vibrant colors, adds to the painting's mystical allure. The painting, "Troll, Starry Night," is a testament to Bauer's ability to capture the essence of folklore and mythology through his art. It invites the viewer to explore the rich and imaginative world of gnomes, elves, and trolls, and to ponder the legends and sagas that have shaped the cultural heritage of Sweden and beyond. This painting is a valuable addition to any collection of fine art images, and a reminder of the enduring power of mythology and folklore to inspire and captivate the human imagination.
