Ragnarokfrisen 1826 - 1841

The *Ragnarokfrisen* is a monumental plaster relief sculpted by Hermann Ernst Freund between 1826 and 1841. Depicting a scene from Norse mythology, the relief features a warrior riding a boar, a female archer and a shield-bearing warrior, all amidst a flurry of weaponry and dramatic movement. This massive artwork, measuring 96 cm in height and an impressive 4290 cm in width, is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. Freund, who died in 1840, completed the work shortly before his death, and it is a testament to the Neoclassical style of the early 19th century.
