Two Trolls,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating work of art by the Swedish painter John Bauer, was created in 1909 and is now a cherished addition to the collection of the Goteborg Konstmuseum in Sweden. This masterpiece, titled "Bland Tomtar och Troll" in its native language, showcases Bauer's exceptional talent in the realm of allegory and literature, with a focus on gnomes and trolls, creatures deeply rooted in Germanic and Norse mythology. Bauer's use of gouache on paper lends a vibrant and intricate quality to the image, which depicts two trolls engaged in an enigmatic interaction. The first troll, with a mischievous grin and a gnarled appearance, reaches out to touch a delicate, ethereal elf, who seems to be floating in a tranquil pool. The contrast between the rough, earthy troll and the delicate, otherworldly elf highlights the intriguing dichotomy between the realms of nature and magic. This painting is not only a visual representation of folklore but also a symbolic exploration of the complexities of mythology. The trolls, traditionally depicted as fearsome and mischievous beings, are often associated with the natural world and the elements. The elves, on the other hand, represent the mystical and magical aspects of life. The interaction between these two creatures can be interpreted as a reminder of the delicate balance between nature and magic, and the potential for harmony between seemingly disparate elements. Bauer's "Two Trolls" is a stunning example of the power of art to transport us to other worlds and to challenge our perceptions of the familiar. This work of art continues to captivate audiences with its rich symbolism, intricate details, and the timeless allure of mythology.
