Balder. Illustration til Fabricius' Danmarks historie 1, 119. 1854

"Balder," an 1854 illustration by Danish artist H. C. Henneberg, depicts the Norse god Balder, known for his beauty and goodness. The artwork, part of a series for Fabricius' Danmarks historie, shows Balder standing in a simple yet elegant pose, his hand resting on his chest. Henneberg's detailed linework and subtle shading create a sense of realism in this figure, a staple of Norse mythology. The image is currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This engraving, a testament to Henneberg's skill, highlights the artist's contribution to visual storytelling and the preservation of Nordic cultural heritage.
