Odin : The Ring of the Nibelungen

Another painting by Franz Stassen illustrating Wagner's opera shows Odin in a dominant and warlike posture. His appearance is inspired more by Greek than Scandinavian representations. Protected by metal armour, and wearing a winged helmet, an attribute typical of representations of the 19th century, Odin is holding his spear, Gungnir, forged by dwarves.téléchargeabl
