Golden age inspired nordic mythology illustrations.
I sought to create an intimate, fairy-tale book atmosphere while drawing inspiration from the Golden Age of Illustration.
The Golden Age of Illustration occured in the late 1800’s. It was marked by a quality in illustration for advertisements and books that has yet to repeat itself. Printmaking techniques such as lithography aided in the widespread distribution of these works. I drew inspiration from artists such as Arthur Rackham and John Bauer. Mythology was also often the subject of both of these artists and many other artists during this time.
The stories included in this are The Murder of Balder, Brynhilde’s Hell Ride, and the Abduction of Idunna.
