Thor's Fight with the Giants, by Mårten Eskil Winge (1872)
Tors strid med jättarna — Thor's Fight with the Giants — painted by the Swedish artist Mårten Eskil Winge in 1872. The thunder god rides his goat-drawn chariot through a storm, swinging Mjölnir wreathed in lightning and drawing tight the belt of power Megingjörð as he battles the jötnar. The original oil-on-canvas hangs in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
Winge painted it at the height of a 19th-century Scandinavian revival of Norse mythology, and the image has shaped how the Æsir have been pictured ever since. A museum-grade reproduction on gallery canvas, hand-stretched and ready to hang.
