Bues død 1852

"Bues Død i Hjørungavig-Slag" (1852) by Lorenz Frølich (1820-1908) is a pen and ink drawing depicting a dramatic scene from Norse mythology. The artwork portrays the death of the legendary warrior Bue, who is depicted in a dynamic pose, falling from his ship during the Battle of Hjørungavåg. The detailed depiction of the warrior's armor, the ship's deck, and the surrounding figures, all contribute to the sense of action and realism that is characteristic of Frølich's work. The drawing is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the artist's interest in Scandinavian history and mythology.
