Skjolds kamp med bjørnen 1852

"Skjolds Kamp med Bjørnen" (1852) by Danish artist H.C. Henneberg is a wood engraving depicting a scene from Norse mythology. The artwork shows a dramatic encounter between the legendary hero Skjold and a bear, highlighting the bravery and strength of the protagonist. This small-scale work (204 mm x 154 mm), created in a detailed and illustrative style, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing both action and emotion in a single image. The work is now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
