Kraka (Aslaug, Aslog)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Marten Eskil Winge that transports viewers to the enchanting world of Norse mythology. Created in 1862, this masterpiece showcases the artist's impeccable attention to detail and his ability to bring mythical characters to life on canvas. The painting depicts Kraka, also known as Aslaug or Aslog, a legendary figure from Viking folklore. She stands tall and graceful amidst a breathtaking Scandinavian landscape, exuding an air of youth and beauty. With her flowing golden locks cascading down her bare shoulders, she embodies both strength and vulnerability. Winge's portrayal of Kraka captures her regal essence as she gazes into the distance with an enigmatic expression. Her nakedness symbolizes purity and authenticity while draped in a simple cloth that hints at her royal lineage. By her side stands a loyal canine companion, emphasizing her connection with nature. Intriguing elements such as the onion held delicately in one hand and the walking stick/cane in another add layers of symbolism to this composition. They suggest Kraka's resourcefulness and wisdom within her mythological narrative. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates Nordic folklore but also pays homage to Richard Wagner's opera "Der Ring des Nibelungen" where Kraka plays a significant role. Through Winge's skillful brushwork, he brings together music, literature, and visual art seamlessly. Displayed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden today; this iconic piece
