EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Gosforth Viking Cross, a remarkable artifact from Cumbria, England. Taken in the tranquil evening light, this northwest view highlights the intricate details of this ancient cross. The side depicted in this image reveals a mesmerizing scene from Norse mythology - Ragnarok. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to Odin and Heimdal, two powerful gods intricately carved into the cross. Standing tall amidst swirling dragons, they exude an aura of strength and wisdom. These mythical creatures symbolize chaos and destruction as they intertwine with the deities. The presence of nature is also evident in this artwork; a majestic tree stands proudly beside Odin and Heimdal, representing life's eternal cycle. Its branches reach towards the heavens while its roots delve deep into the earth. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where Vikings roamed these lands. This artifact serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs. It reminds us of their reverence for gods and goddesses who governed various aspects of their lives. Captured by CM Dixon with utmost precision and attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate every stroke on the ancient stone cross. It invites us to explore Norse mythology through artistry that has stood against time's relentless passage.
