EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient rock carvings of warriors with axes, found in Sweden's Tanumshede region. Preserved at the Vitlycke Museum and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1994, these Nordic Bronze Age engravings offer a fascinating glimpse into history. Dating back to the 18th-6th century BC, they depict skilled hunters wielding their weapons with precision. The simplicity of the red rock canvas against the grey landscape creates a striking contrast that further enhances the artwork's allure. In this horizontal composition captured during daylight hours, we witness an intriguing male likeness skillfully illustrated through intricate painting techniques.
